⬤ 01. Challenges

Design a clean and modern
portfolio UI that showcases Brandon's
coding projects and skills effectively.

The UI should have a simple navigation bar, a homepage featuring a hero image and a brief bio, a portfolio section showcasing his best projects with hover-over effects, and a contact page with a contact form and social media links. The design should be responsive, easily navigable, and visually appealing.

The design should highlight Brandon’s skills, showcase his work and encourage potential clients to contact him.

⬤ 02. Experience

Brandon's front-end brilliance.

I created a clean, minimalistic portfolio UI design for Brandon that showcased his projects and skills in an easy-to-navigate format.

The design emphasized the use of visuals, intuitive navigation, and mobile responsiveness, ensuring a seamless user experience for potential employers or clients.
