"I've always been a kid with a computer."
I was 5 when I discovered that Saturdays didn't start with cartoons — they started when I powered on the computer. One of those that sounded like a Windows 98 airplane, took 3 minutes to boot, and I was already sitting there waiting. My first window into the world was a computer, and that changed everything.
By 2005 I was the geekiest kid on my block. Habbo Hotel, Neopets, HTML forums I built for my UnionPet group. I used Adobe Fireworks — the first UX software that ever existed, though I didn't know it was called that. I made buttons, interfaces, pixel art. I was designing without knowing I was designing.
This portfolio is my autobiography. The pixels are from the Windows 98 era I grew up in. The RPG aesthetic comes from the games that shaped me. The HTML code that builds each page is the same language I learned at 11 making Neopets pages. I chose this branding because when I saw it, for the first time I said: this is me.
Before landing here I threw 4 portfolios in the trash. I tried minimalist, clinical, modern. None felt mine. Until I reconnected with my inner kid — the one who woke up Saturdays to turn on the computer — and understood that I've always been a designer. I just didn't know it had a name.
30 minutes — no strings attached. Just understanding your challenge.
