I needed a portfolio website that not only showcases my work clearly and professionally, but also reflects my personality and design approach.
This portfolio is primarily designed for hiring managers, recruiters, and fellow designers who want to quickly understand how I think, work, and solve problems. It also serves as a reference point for collaborators and clients looking to explore my capabilities and past projects.
I created a clean, responsive website that balances clarity with personality. The design highlights my case studies while offering elements of visual interest and polish.
My approach to designing this portfolio was intentionally flexible and exploratory. Instead of following a strict design system, I let the process evolve naturally, guided by inspiration and clarity of purpose.
Research I started by researching other designers’ portfolios—studying what worked, what felt personal, and what stood out.
Define I defined a visual language that felt true to me: minimal, approachable, and thoughtfully structured.
Iteration The layout, typography, and color choices were shaped iteratively, with a focus on readability, personality, and simplicity.
To create a space for my case studies as well as a personal expression of how I think, build, and solve problems.
As part of my research, I explored a wide range of portfolios—from seasoned designers to fresh graduates—to understand how others told their stories. I paid close attention to layout structures, tone of voice, case study depth, and visual hierarchy. This helped me identify what felt clear and engaging versus what felt overwhelming or generic. Those insights shaped both the structure and tone of my own site, helping me strike a balance between professionalism and personality.
After gathering inspiration and identifying what worked well in others’ portfolios, I began shaping the foundation of my own. I asked myself: What do I want people to feel when they land here? What’s the most important thing they should take away?
From those questions, I defined a few guiding principles:
Clarity over complexity Every element should serve a purpose and be easy to navigate.
Personal without being noisy The site should reflect my personality in a subtle, intentional way.
Case studies as the core The work needed to be front and center, with just enough context to invite exploration.
These ideas informed everything from the page structure and tone of voice to the color palette and typography. Rather than overdesign, I focused on just enough—a clean, focused space that lets the work speak.
