Just shipped my own portfolio site — designed and built end to end.
No templates, no page builder. Figma for the design, then coded in HTML/CSS/JS + Next.js — working alongside AI tools to move faster without cutting corners. Custom animations, full mobile optimization, built in from day one.
Same process I bring to client work: design with intent, build it myself, ship something that actually performs.
love that custom cursor, so much cleverness in every detail!
Thank you!
Love the design-to-build approach. Building it yourself gives you so much more control over the final result.
Exactly — that's the biggest reason I stick with this process. No handoff means no lost detail, and I can make small judgment calls in real time (spacing, timing, how something actually feels on a real device) instead of writing notes for someone else to interpret. Appreciate the comment!
