Overview
This is the portfolio site you are currently browsing, designed and built from scratch. The goal was a clean, technical aesthetic that reflects how I work: systematic, precise, and attentive to detail.
The design went through three direction explorations before settling on the Dark Sleek Technical direction with an Iris accent palette. It features a complete design token system for light and dark modes, persistent via localStorage, and individual case study pages for each project.

Built as both a personal home on the web and a demonstration of design and front-end thinking. The site is the thing it talks about.
