About my portfolio

As a third-year graphic design student brimming with creative work but lacking a showcase, a conversation with my mentor sparked the realization of a portfolio website. This project not only displays my dedication but also uniquely positions me to stand out to potential clients and internship opportunities. Crafting this site has been a journey of showcasing my skills and the passion behind each piece.

Client: Personal Project

  • Responsibilities:

    • Web design

My goal

The primary aim of this site is to showcase projects that showcase my skills and vision. Opting for a personalized website over a standard Behance profile, I've crafted a unique space, which I hope, sets me apart in the graphic design landscape.

What I learned

Embarking on this web design project was ambitious, given my limited experience. Yet, it's now reached a stage where it reflects the quality I strive for. The journey has been long, taking several months, but immensely educational, deepening my knowledge in web design, SEO, and custom CSS. Embracing the challenge, I've grown to see web design within Squarespace as a valuable skill I'm eager to continue refining, always aiming to expand my skillset.
