WIP: Crafting a Minimal Portfolio for a Product Designer

Really clean visual direction — the minimalism feels intentional rather than empty.

One thing I particularly like is the spacing rhythm; it gives the layout a calm, premium feel.

Curious — are you planning to introduce motion/micro-interactions, or keeping it purely static/minimal?

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it. Will keep it minima, probably add scroll reveal animation 🙌🏻

Nice direction. Subtle scroll reveals could work really well with this layout — especially if the motion mirrors the spacing rhythm. Keeping it restrained would preserve that calm, premium feel.

A bit of a throwback to a project from last year! I had a great time designing a full Airbnb-like booking experience for Pension, and was able to add to it a lot of nice scenery-based illustrations!

Those scenery-based illustrations paired with the Airbnb layout are chef's kiss — makes you want to book a trip just looking at it!

Hey people,

Let me introduce myself.

I'm Jelmer.

Originally from the Netherlands, currently designing from Indonesia. Four years in as a freelance web designer and still loving every project.

I work mostly in Figma, Webflow and Framer. Helping brands go from idea to a website that actually converts.

Ask me anything below. 😊
