✨ SCRAP OR KEEP? ✨
Hellow fellow designers! I'm facing the boredom of my website/portfolio's look and feel. When I made it I LOVED it, it's still quite cohesive with my personal branding, my creative direction and tastes. I guess it's a common situation after a couple of years with a strong design as it is atm. Should I scrap it or keep it? Any ideas or tips for soft re-design? Any constructive criticism is appreciated 😌

Honestly, it is way to busy, I don’t know where to start or what I am looking at. Hiring managers who are busy reviewing thousands of portfolios may think the same.

Thank you for letting me know!

Your work is so good (just saw your reel videos) but IMO all the great work is being overshadowed by the busy menu layout. Keep it simple so your work can shine!

I spent like 6-10 seconds scanning for your work on my mobile phone. I could only recall seeing soft skills and hard skills and a bunch of unlabeled icons or labels that didn’t specifically call out a case study or work. I moved on.

Notes: I know that the UX is a bit out there, but I kinda didn't care and enjoyed as it is. The main purpose is to differentiate from clean and minimal style (and super common when I was on hunt for a new job), and catch the eye of naughty hiring managers, who scroll thousends of desktop websites, so I suggest to view it on a desktop :)
