Information Architecture: The Skill That Separates Juniors from Seniors IA isn't sexy but it's the skeleton everything hangs on. A bad IA means users can't find anything, no amount of visual polish fixes that. My IA process: 1) Content audit (what exists?) 2) Card sort with users (where do THEY expect things?) 3) Sitemap draft 4) Tree testing (can users navigate it?) 5) Iterate. The best navigation is the one users don't think about.

Excited to be participating in the ZO Computer Challenge! CTRL//SPIRIT — a haunted operating system for diagnosing corrupted design systems.

I didn’t want to make a traditional portfolio, so I turned my personal website into an interactive horror desktop instead. The idea was to create something that felt like a cursed CRT machine, a living archive, and a design manifesto all at once.

Inside the site, visitors can explore:

recovered doctrines from broken systems

incident logs of interface failures

an infected components diagnostic mini-game

terminal interactions, hidden files, and eerie system warnings

I wanted it to feel unsettling, playful, and strangely beautiful — like stepping into a machine that still remembers every broken interface it has ever scanned.

Sometimes it’s not about the design. The user just “can’t see”.

They don’t understand where to look, what matters, or what to do next. And they won’t figure it out - they just leave.

That’s why we don’t start with visuals. We start with logic: what the user needs to do, how the flow works, and where their attention goes in the first seconds.

Only then - design. Clarity is the foundation.

What do you focus on first?
