My previous portfolio: one animated page, driven by a command menu.
The portfolio that came before this one: a single animated page with a command menu, built to be looked at rather than read, and to make the first two seconds count.

What it is
A portfolio is the pitch, not the reference. This one is animated, opinionated and built to be looked at, with a command menu instead of a navigation bar so the whole site is one keystroke deep.
Keeping it apart from the résumé meant it never had to compromise: it can be heavy on motion without making a recruiter fight it for the facts, because the facts live on their own site.

Challenges
A line taken out, a line put in. The problem first, then what actually replaced it.
Motion that does not cost the first impression
A portfolio is judged in the first two seconds, and that is exactly the window that heavy animation and font loading spend on themselves.
Content is readable before the animation resolves rather than gated behind it, so a slow connection degrades to a plain page instead of a blank one.

Results
- A motion-led single-page portfolio, navigable entirely from the keyboard.
- Now being replaced by this bilingual rebuild.
