Hi guys! I am a Product Designer with 3 years of experience doing mostly enterprise and B2B software. I am looking for new opportunities so I recently redid my portfolio (my last one was terrible). Tell me what you think, I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks you guys!

Hey! Not portfolio advice but resume advice first. Your resume typeface is realllly tiny. You could also make it less conversational (remove also's currently, etc) since you're using bullet points. Get rid of the progress bars next to languages youre fluent in just say English (fluent) Spanish (fluent).

I'm calling out just the things I could improve but overall I think its a decent first step!

For Portfolio initial animation takes like ~8 seconds or so, I'd make it faster, also the problem animation keeps animating (super minor on that one). Also SOLVER in caps feels a lil weird, and honestly the whole thing is risky (in a good or bad way) in that its definitely attention grabbing, but also might scare off employeers.

Please have a back button in your header in your case studies. Your header is massive and it makes a lot of things look weird once it half covers things. and your contact me button is broken. Unless youre freelancing, its unlikely someone will contact you through your header, so honestly Id just put a simple back button.

A few typos / jumps between Spanish and English, which I think is fine, but just want to call it out in case you're not aware of it.

"KAMs and everyone involved in the process of cataloguing to understand how this process works" what process works?

I cant get anything out of your artifacts either abstract/anaymize it or remove it. They dont tell me anything beyond you made a sitemap - give me key takeaways as a reader.

Youre telling me a lot about the activities, but not actually giving me any specifics for example, why did you get to the deus ex sidebar?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the chapter Idea it really draws me in, and your high-level storytelling elements make me interested to read, its the key details themselves dont flow well together. There's also too many "we's" and I don't know specifically what YOU did throughout this project.

This is just first impression but I feel it’s important to call out.

I read your hero as “I am a problem”

I get what you’re trying to do with the cross out but it’s not quite reading the way you want to imo
