Every designer has a graveyard of abandoned portfolios. Mine has four headstones now, and this one's the first I actually like enough to keep.
The first version was a Notion page pretending to be a website. The second was too minimal — just my name and a mailto link, like I was hiding from potential clients. The third had a hero animation so aggressive it made my laptop fan audible from another room.
What's different this time
I stopped trying to make it look like everyone else's portfolio. This one runs on Catppuccin — Mocha by default, with a Latte toggle for anyone who prefers their websites like their coffee: with milk.
It's also finally honest about what I actually make: half of it is code, a good chunk is design proposals nobody asked for, there's some art, a couple of terrible-on-purpose game jam entries, and — eventually — music, once I stop being too embarrassed to publish it.
Anyway. If you're reading this, the site shipped. That alone is a personal record.
