Project Background
Creating a personal portfolio website is a unique challenge—it’s a space to showcase my skills, expertise, and personality to potential clients and collaborators. I aimed to create a site that was not only visually striking but also demonstrated my capabilities in Webflow development and 3D integration using Three.js.

Interactivity:
Incorporate interactive elements to demonstrate advanced skills.
Responsive Design:
Ensure the site is fully responsive across all devices.
Process
Discovery & Planning:
Analyzed portfolios of leading designers and developers to identify key trends and effective layouts.
Defined clear objectives for what the portfolio should achieve and how it should reflect my personal brand.
Design:
Created wireframes in Figma to outline the structure and layout of the site.
Developed high-fidelity mockups in Figma, focusing on a clean, modern aesthetic with a touch of personality.
Ensured a smooth and intuitive navigation flow, keeping the user journey in mind.
Development:
Built the site using Webflow, leveraging its powerful Client-First approach and CMS capabilities for easy content management.
Added interactive 3D elements to make the site more engaging and showcase my technical skills.
Tested the site across various devices to ensure a consistent and optimal user experience.
Challenges
Ensuring the site was visually impressive without compromising on usability.
Incorporating Three.js elements without affecting site performance was a technical challenge that required careful optimization.
Achieving a consistent look and feel across different devices took extensive testing and tweaking.
