Category: Personal Portfolio / Product Design Role: Product Designer Live: https://keshav.live

As a solo product designer, I faced a positioning challenge.

Personal portfolios feel human and build trust, but don’t scale well. Studio websites signal structure and credibility, but often feel impersonal or premature.

Most designers choose one and lose the other making it hard to grow without a full rebrand later.

Design a portfolio that works today as a founder-led personal site, while being structurally ready to evolve into a studio.

Key goals:

High trust and clarity

Professional, production-ready feel

Clear services and positioning

A scalable layout and copy system

No visual noise or agency fluff

I designed keshav.live as a bridge between a personal brand and a future studio.

Founder-led narrative using first-person copy to keep it human

Studio-ready structure with modular sections (Services, Pricing, Case Studies, FAQs)

Minimal, tech-forward UI focused on clarity and performance

Brand layering: Keshav as the face, Pixalnode as the long-term system

Scalable copy that can shift from “I” to “We” without redesign

A portfolio that feels personal without being informal

Professional without pretending to be a large agency

Clear communication of services, value, and process

Ready to scale into a studio through copy and positioning updates

Today, keshav.live works as:

A trust-first portfolio for clients

A foundation for building Pixalnode as a studio

A personal portfolio doesn’t limit growth, it can be the starting point of a scalable design studio.
