Just want to say I'm slightly jealous that your domain is your actual full name. That's just awesome.

A little disappointed to see a Squarespace site to be honest. What exactly did you do on the site, besides copy? (I'm not trying to sound salty, I'm just confused what we should critique)

One thing that I see very quickly, is that you seem to load Playfair Display, but you only use it for your logo. You could benefit greatly from typing your logo in illustrator or sketch, and export the outlines as SVG! Stylesheets that are linked in your header are blocking-references, meaning that the site will not render unless they are loaded.

Really nice design - one recommendation I would say to improve it would be to recreate your resume rather than using an image. Using an image is bad for accessibility, performance, and SEO among others.

Love the domain and main pic. Found a small display issue on the Tangibles page, though.

Kudos:

• Nice work on creating a better line measure for all your content. Definitely easier to consume the content now.
• I appreciate the breadth and depth covered in your selected body of work
• Great to see physical products your created or worked on

Critiques:

• Would be great to see a little more detail on the measurable impact your solution experiences delivered for your projects
• I find it a little odd to display your resume within a page. Any reason why it just doesn't download instead?
• It's a bit weird to click on your name in the top right to be taken back out to your landing page. It throws off what I would assume is a normal flow for a user browsing through a portfolio.

Cheers.

Remove "baby". You're a product designer. Own it.

One thing you can quickly fix: measure is too long.

Are you completely sure you can include the TrueCar items in your portfolio? I know you said you were an intern, but several / most companies do not allow inclusion of their proprietary / internal design projects in employee portfolios.

I know the corporation I work for does not allow me to include their projects I build out in my professional portfolio.

Ditch the landing and beef up the intro section on your portfolio. You can still show your personality there, but making them work to get to know you is less than great.

:)

Lots to like here. The introductory copy on the home page needs work, though. On the first sentence I thought you designed just for infants, and I liked the clear expression of focus... then realized it didn't line up with the work on the page.

The text in that area is super-important: people will use it to situate your work in the universe of possible designers. Answering questions like what you focus on, what's distinctive about your work or process, and even narrowing down the kinds of clients you work with, will all help.

Last note: you ask visitors to check back for new work. The design of this site is so nice that it would look great in a newsletter, so why not offer one so you can show new work to previous visitors who might be interested, but might not know or remember to check back.

The green illustrated mockup for the price curve case study looks out of place. You have used photography for everything else aside from that image.

All content seems very wide.

Finally, the layout of your CV is awkward for me - it would really benefit from some more careful spacing. The hyphens at the star of each line give the left side an awkward feel.

It's clean, and perhaps a site you'd expect to see from a physical product designer.

Try to be bold with your intro text. Make the text bigger. Split it between 2 columns. Right now it feels like reading a very long horizontal sentence.

Also, who is your audience? We the designers probably aren't your audience. Think about what your value proposition is. What value you intend to bring your target group (potential clients)? Tailor that message to support the proposition value.

Good luck!

It's nice, clean, concise. Well done! (This is SO much better than MY first portfolio!! LOL)

I like that you go into detail about your process and thinking. Huge selling point. People visiting your site will be able to trust that you have solid design thinking and problem solving (which is what potential clients and companies will want to see, that they can trust you to Get Stuff Done™).

One of the first things that jumped out to me was the use of the word 'baby' in your position statement. Baby who? Baby what? Your work doesn't look baby-ish to me! This is probably one of the first things people will read so its your chance to se the tone for their experience of your stuff.

So maybe instead of 'baby' you could say 'junior'. You don't have to be sale-sy, just be real. Paul Jarvis (https://pjrvs.com/) and Nick Desabato (https://draft.nu/) do a really good job of very quickly getting everyone on board with who they are and what they do. I wouldn't go quite as extensive as they have, but look at their copy and how they've phrased things, how they set things up with what they've written.

But overall, nice work!
