Website Redesign “Complete”

by | Nov 27, 2024 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Qualification

Calling this portfolio website “complete” might be a bit generous—it’s more accurate to say that it’s a complete minimum viable product. Like any good design project, this website will require ongoing edits, maintenance, and evolution. It’s a living document of sorts, destined to grow and improve with each new portfolio example I add and every tweak I make to enhance its usability.

Acknowledgment

I also want to address the elephant in the room: the glaring gap between this article and my last one, and the one before that. Too many designer blogs take on a predictable pattern after long silences—either an awkward apology or an overambitious promise of frequent updates moving forward. While I won’t make the latter mistake, I will acknowledge that I’ve now built a tool I’m excited to use for sharing my work and knowledge. With this foundation, I feel better equipped to commit to writing more regularly about the fields of design I work in, and I even have a plan for rolling out articles that touch on video game UI/UX, app design, creative direction, branding, and more. So while this is a small step, it’s one I feel good about.

What the Website Offers

The current iteration of my portfolio focuses on starting strong, with sections that highlight my key areas of expertise: Video Game Design, App Design, UI/UX Design, Creative Direction, and Graphic Design. Each section provides an introduction to my approach and showcases relevant projects. It’s intentionally structured to give visitors a clear understanding of my diverse design capabilities while allowing me to build and expand the portfolio over time.

More work went into this than I initially anticipated (as is often the case with creative endeavors). Every section, every paragraph, every image demanded my attention. And forgive me for feeling a little proud of what I’ve accomplished here—it’s satisfying to have a platform that reflects the quality of work I strive for in my design practice. That said, it’s not without its frustrations. For example, my header and footer have inexplicably gone wonky after the last round of tweaks. This, of course, is the nature of any design project: even the “final version” is never truly final.

Invitation

I encourage you to look around the site, explore my work, and feel free to reach out if you notice anything that seems off or out of place. Constructive feedback is always welcome, as it helps me refine and improve what I’ve built.

And, of course, if you’d like to discuss working with me, I’d love to hear from you. Whether it’s a project, a question, or just a conversation about design, I’m always open to connecting and sharing insights whenever I can. Thanks for stopping by—I hope you find something here that resonates!
