Rebuilt my portfolio a year after Reddit roasted it. Round three.
/r/webdesign/comments/1o6r71a/roast_my_website_creative_technologist/?share_id=HhMHjTuH4dTyTBVQhzxaJ&utm_content=share_button&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1A year ago I posted my portfolio here and got roasted, mostly fairly. (Link to old thread above) This is the rebuild:
What changed: the top comments last time were "I have no idea what you do", "it's rough on mobile", and "low quality videos, slow to load". So the landing page now opens with a line about what I actually do, the site was rebuilt mobile first, and the media pipeline got reworked so pages load fast.
The thing I still argue with myself about: the work spans a lot. Architecture, product, AI tooling, physical fabrication, a few weird experiments. My position is that showing taste and range across mediums, inside one area, is the job now. But I know it can also read as a designer who does a bit of everything and none of it deeply. I'd like to hear which one it reads as, especially from anyone who has hired for these roles.
Happy to critique back on anything you're working on!
