My own portfolio site, designed, coded and deployed by me from scratch.
The goal: A portfolio that works as proof of skill on its own. Instead of just listing projects, the site itself had to show how I think about layout, typography, motion and user flow.
What I did:
Concept & positioning: Built the site around one idea, “Tools change. Taste doesn’t.”, presenting branding, social media, UI/UX and web as one practice held to one standard.
UI design: A bold editorial hero, clean typographic hierarchy, and a scroll-driven layout that moves visitors from introduction to work to contact.
Interaction & motion: Animated skill marquees, hover states on project cards, and a clear five-step process section (Discover, Define, Ideate, Design, Test) that walks clients through how I work.
Content structure: Featured case studies linked to Behance, a dedicated section for live websites I’ve shipped, and direct contact links for low-friction enquiries.
Development & deployment: Hand-coded, fully responsive, and deployed on Netlify.
Result: A fast, live portfolio that showcases my work while proving I can take a website from concept to launch on my own.
