Added a FAQ section today. Never stop iterating, amiright? This is a simple, straightforward site meant to showcase my past work and experience. It's pretty low-key on purpose, nothing too fancy. No templates or AI, just lil ole me doing the thing in Framer with an assist from Figma here and there.
So many of you here on Contra have inspired me and continue to inspire me every day. Feedback welcome.
I finally completed and launched my first Framer client website, and the client is ...me!
Low key on purpose is such an underrated choice, half the portfolio sites I see are overdesigned to the point they distract from the actual work. Did doing it solo without templates change how long the whole build took compared to your client projects?
I agree! Especially with a portfolio site, the focus should be on your actual portfolio pieces, so it's counterproductive to distract from that. I've never been a template user. I find them too much work to unwind someone else's idea and make it my own. What I do is set up...

Great attention to spacing and composition.
The core UI theme of Brainrot is clean and minimal, but users can unlock extra themes with streaks, to change the entire look of the home screen!
We launched with 5 themes, with more to come over the next few months!
That autumn theme is my favorite of the four — the warm palette actually makes the mascot feel more alive than the default purple. Are the streak-unlocked themes generated per season or is that just the launch set?
What started as a poster for a local Longboard Fest turned into a creative playground.
I began by generating an illustration from two reference images. After a LOT of iterations, I finally found the direction I was looking for.
Then I experimented with Envato's Style Transfer, exploring different visual styles until one really stood out.
My first idea was simple: place the poster into mockups and animate a flyer falling onto the sand. But once I saw it... it just didn't feel right.
So I changed direction.
While browsing Envato's video templates, I found one with layered posters. Instead of choosing a single design, I decided to animate five different versions of my poster.
That unexpected decision completely transformed the final result, and became my Human by Design moment.
AI helped me explore possibilities, but the creative direction, the decisions, and the final story were entirely human.
Created for the Contra × Envato Human by Design Challenge.

I like that you shared the changes in direction instead of just the final result. Those creative pivots are usually where the strongest ideas come from.
