This one started on paper. a few messy frames, arrows everywhere, and a stubborn feeling that the templates i kept opening were never going to sound like me.
i redrew the whole thing in figma as one paper-and-ink system — same grid, same type, same handwriting accents across every page — and then built it into a live, responsive site instead of leaving it as a folder of static frames.
the lesson: a portfolio is not a gallery, it's a voice. once the voice was settled, the layout decisions got a lot faster.
i shared the full before-and-after walkthrough on linkedin — visit the post below to see the sketches next to the shipped screens.
