Almost every designer I know has a portfolio that's "almost done."
Mine was the same until this week. I spend my days building websites for other people, so my own always came last.
It's finished now, and the idea behind it is simple: the website should do the talking.
If you need a new website or a redesign, have a look at my work. If you'd like to talk it through, book a call with me.

Loved it . Loooks so creative!
Thank you Gayathri
Make the website do the talking is the perfect thesis for a portfolio, Joshua. The bold blue and black composition with that script accent looks sharp across desktop and mobile. Congrats on finally finishing it.

Your Hero Section Has One Job: Be Clear.
You don’t need huge headlines or long explanations. You need the right image + short headline + clear offer.
For the first version, we worked on the branding, the image and the copy together, so at first glance it’s clear: this is a makeup course, and here’s what you’ll get.
The second version is still beautiful and still feels like beauty. But what are you actually getting? A makeup course? Products? A store? That’s the problem with a Hero that looks good but isn’t thought through.
Your first screen doesn’t need to say everything. It just needs to say the right thing.

Hourfield is a 16-second 16:9 launch film for products that organise people's time: calendars, schedulers, booking and reservation apps, planners. Retype a few short lines, drop in your logo and rename the calendar's days and tiles (meetings, table bookings, classes, shifts): the week re-plans itself on screen and the film lands on your logo lockup. Our second version, Maréva, a fictional table-booking app, turns the working week into an evening of reservations on the same animation and timing.
Built end-to-end through the SVGator MCP server. The calendar that re-plans its own week, the orbit that swirls into a single dot and the lines centred by their real letter shapes (fonts measured, not eyeballed) were computed in Python and written straight into a live SVGator project as 780 editable keyframes; I directed every note and finished it in the canvas. Maréva was made the same way, on the same timeline. Everything stays a real layer: 50 live text layers, named elements (headline, logo, product-name, tagline) and one logo image animated in two moments.
Yes, there is a lot to edit: every line of the story, a whole week of calendar tiles, a palette in nine roles. A full rebrand takes longer than five minutes, and that is the honest trade: it shows how much a single SVGator file can carry, and how MCP makes a detailed, story-driven film practical to re-make, not just to watch.

Love the smooth flow and the text animation! Good luck!
