Meriot Netherlands-based product designer portfolio
I explored a portfolio website for Meriot, a product designer based in the Netherlands who wanted a digital presence that felt more personal, editorial, and design-focused.
The challenge was to avoid the typical portfolio formula and create something that communicates personality within the first few seconds.
The direction
→ Bold editorial typography
→ Strong personal photography
→ Minimal black-and-white foundation
→ Warm orange accent for CTAs
→ Simple, structured navigation
→ Clear positioning as a product designer
→ A portfolio experience that feels like a personal brand
The idea was to make the website feel confident without being complicated.
Rather than leading with a long introduction, the hero immediately communicates who Meriot is, what he does, and where the visitor should go next.
This has a premium feel.
Thanks man

My career as a designer has never been a consistent one.
No straight line. No winning year on year. Honestly, the bumpiest journey imaginable to get where I am.
I started in this industry with a cracked version of Photoshop, running on a PC that would crash with anything I designed.
I once worked for a company on 12k a year and could barely make rent. But I did what I could, because I love what I do.
To anyone expecting perfection in your first year, think twice. Technology lets us get better faster, sure, but you still need the fundamentals of design and business. Without them you're just guessing at what's good, and your clients pay the price.
Take your time. The reality of success is still damn hard work. A social following doesn't pay the way you think it does not unless you know how to sell or create.
If I could give someone a piece of advice, it'd be this: Be patient, Be willing to give more than you take and don't rely on AI to do all the thinking for you.
How long have you been in this industry? Since I started this career, I have been a huge fan of your work. From which design period did you start to show the desired outcome after you joined?
Same content. Two completely different vibes.
What happens when you keep the course content the same, but change the structure, typography, and color palette?
Two hero sections. One course. Two different visual experiences.
Which one would you choose? 1 or 2?

Option 1 works well , the heirarchy and card layout on the hero is very smart
NEXOR — Creative Digital Agency Website 🔥
NEXOR is a futuristic website concept for a creative digital studio focused on digital products, brand systems, and bold digital experiences.
The goal was to create a memorable first impression while keeping the agency’s services and next steps clear.
Special attention was given to:
• a bold hero composition with oversized typography and futuristic imagery;
• a vibrant orange and black palette that creates a distinctive visual identity 🟠;
• a strong visual hierarchy that balances creative expression with usability;
• clear CTAs for starting a project or booking a call;
• a contact form integrated directly into the hero section;
• responsive mobile layouts that preserve the visual impact 📱;
• a full-screen mobile menu with intuitive navigation and prominent contact options.
The result is an expressive digital experience that combines bold visual storytelling with a clear path to conversion.
Looking to create a distinctive website for your creative agency, digital studio, or technology brand? Let’s build something extraordinary together ⚡
The orange-and-black system has real presence, and the mobile frames show the hierarchy holding together rather than just shrinking. The clear CTA placement is a smart counterweight to the oversized hero type.
