I needed a personal portfolio that actually felt personal. Not another Framer template. Not another one-pager with buzzwords. Something that shows how I think, build, and write. So I revamped my portfolio to be that.

Designing for yourself is a trap. You either over-design or overthink. I was stuck trying to say too much and ended up saying nothing. The old portfolio had no clarity, no story, and no soul. It didn’t show my process, personality, or possibilities.

I rebuilt everything from scratch using Framer. This time I focused on what matters:

Words that feel honest

Pages that feel fast

Design that feels like me

The site now acts as a window into how I think, not just what I’ve done.

Custom GPT Chat A trained AI that only talks about me, my work, and my thoughts. Visitors can literally chat with my brain.

No Boring “About Me” Instead of a wall of text, the “About” section uses a grid of visuals, places, and moments from my life. Each one opens into a tiny story.

Micro Animations that Mean Something Every animation has intent. They echo how I build products—clean, crisp, and full of character.

Initial Planning and Goal Setting I started by asking: what should people feel after visiting the site? I wrote that down first.

Mood Boarding for Visual Inspiration Saved references that felt real, not trendy. Avoided anything I’d forget in 6 months.

Developing Personal Brand Identity I picked a typeface that reads fast, a palette that calms, and a tone that reflects how I talk in real life.

Portfolio Design and Key Features Designed every section to answer one question: “Would I read this if I landed here as a stranger?”

Learnings and Mistakes I iterated too long on copy. Got stuck trying to be “clever.” Ended up going with clear instead.
