I recently designed and built this portfolio for Aaron Israel — fully from scratch using Figma for Design, and HTML & CSS.
No frameworks. No shortcuts. Just structure, spacing, and intentional design.
The goal wasn’t to make something flashy.
It was to create a portfolio that feels effortless to use and lets the work speak immediately.
A few things I focused on:
• Clean visual hierarchy so nothing competes for attention
• Thoughtful spacing and typography to guide the eye
• Performance — fast, lightweight, no unnecessary bloat
• A structure that reflects real product thinking, not just visuals
Sometimes the best design is the one you don’t notice… because everything just makes sense.
Would love to hear your thoughts 👇🏾

I built this fully functional frontend prototype in under 24 hours using Figma Make. ✨
From first idea to a working web experience with real user input and a complete frontend flow.
The concept:
An app that lets you send personalized digital posters to someone on a flight, displayed directly on their seat screen. You can even enhance the moment with real world surprises delivered during the flight.
Bringing a bit of emotion and connection into a place that usually feels pretty distant.
Really enjoying what’s possible with Figma Make right now.
Curious what you think about the idea. 👀
Great job!
Fern Estate Co., a Tennessee-based company that blends real estate, construction, and design under one roof, needed a visual identity that reflected their dedication to quality craftsmanship and sophisticated design. Our goal was to create a brand that embodies class, value, and design, mirroring the elevated spaces they create.
The final identity features a sleek wordmark that balances sharp angles with smooth curves, showcasing both strength and sophistication. The accompanying symbol reflects structural elements, representing the company’s expertise in construction and design. The color palette is grounded in deep greens and neutrals, adding warmth and richness that speaks to their connection to the Tennessee landscape. Supporting graphic elements, such as grid patterns and linear forms, reinforce the brand’s emphasis on thoughtful design and lasting value.
