My portfolio,
designed then shipped.
I drew the whole site in Figma first — five pages, one paper-and-ink system — and then used Lovable to give it life as a real, responsive, live site rather than a folder of static frames.
A project index built like a contact sheet — snapshot collage on top, an even grid below.
A full-bleed portrait against a big serif introduction, then story, values and a journey line.
Writing kept light: a desk-shelf illustration and a two-column list of pieces worth reading.
A pinned notebook collage where every detail — mail, location, socials — is a real link.
Design notes
The whole site runs on one small system: warm paper, ink black, a serif for statements and a handwritten face for the aside that follows each one. Nothing else was allowed in.
Every page opens with a single oversized sentence, so a visitor knows where they are before they scroll. The collage elements are hand-arranged rather than templated — they carry the personality the type deliberately withholds.
Figma held the art direction; Lovable turned it into working code — routing, responsive layouts down to mobile, and real links instead of prototype hotspots.
