Hi guys! Glad to meet you virtually. I recently worked on my portfolio and revised my CV as well. Also for my concern about career : I have around 4 years of experience as a designer with various design fields such as branding, package, editing and UX/UI. It sounds good to be a generalist however still a bit confusing which field suits me the best. I’m not really sure what my strengths are as a designer. That’s why I need an objective perspective to review my portfolio. I’d like to know what my strengths are as a designer and in which areas I could improve further. I welcome any feedback! Thanks in advance!

Ugh, love your work and portfolio. Soooo cute and the illustrations are so fun. I terms of roles, I think at the end of the day you can pursue what you want or money. I choose money, bc it enables me to do more of what I want, outside of work. That would be UI/UX. I think you could position yourself as a UI/UX designer and potentially consider creating and selling icon kits. I think you would also be successful as a Brand and Web freelance designer. A lot of small businesses need both, and you can off ux research as an add-on. Just my opinion.

Finally, in regards to the site, I may reconsider the pink background. It's pretty loud, maybe something that doesn't compete so much with your thumbnails. There's a light grey you use in case studies that might be good.

Hi! Absolutely love your portfolio and the work you do, it's truly amazing and inspiring. I agree with the statement above as well, you have a little bit of everything and can 100% be successful in either path. The way you display your process and how the work was executed is really good!

You have strong UI/UX skills but also grasp graphic design skills when it comes to logo designs and the illustrations you develop. I feel that you'd somehow lean more towards UI/UX with your application development but also plentiful website designs you've created

Home Page:
I agree the pink is pretty loud and maybe a softer color, like a seashell gray or something that doesn't clash but goes well with the thumbnails. I think the background takes away from the projects a little bit because it is the brightest item on the page and feels like the main focal point.

Contact Page:
I would try to center the "Find Me On" Link below it

It's really cute and nice, I love the little icons you created to display which Creative Cloud applications you're familiar with!

Other than that I love and adore your portfolio it came out really nice, and I love the work you do!

One last thing I just noticed is to title the browser pages

Oh my god thank you so much! Tbh I have been a bit disappointed by myself and being a bit doubtful about my design works too. Didn't expect this positive feedback. As you mentioned I'm also struggling with making decison between money or what I want. Just remaining as a designer is what I want now. Probably should develop a bit and being a better designer would be the best solution! Thank you again and have a great day!

I agree with others. Your portfolio looks really lovely.

Not too many critiques but I’d say allign the description in the case studies to the left rather than centred.

#

Your logo looks really low res especially when I zoom in

I disagree with the others, I quite like the pink! (Maybe I’m partially biased because my portfolio is VERY pink 😉 lol)
