Building This Portfolio

How I designed and iterated this landing and shader-based visual identity.

Building This Portfolio

This site started as a single landing with a strong visual identity and then evolved into a multi-section project.

Core ideas

  • Keep the landing bold and memorable.
  • Use route groups in Next.js to share layout where needed.
  • Separate content from route code so blog evolution is easier.

Next iteration

The blog is now file-based in MDX, which means writing content is as easy as editing markdown files while still allowing React components when needed.
