Purpose and Audience
The purpose of this website is to create a personal portfolio for my design work. It will show product design, visual design, branding, and creative projects in one organized place. The audience includes recruiters, creative teams, classmates, and potential freelance clients who want to understand my style, process, and skills.
Viewer Experience
I want the site to feel clean, visual, and easy to explore. Visitors should be able to quickly understand who I am, what kind of work I make, and how to contact me. The experience should feel professional but still creative, with strong images, simple writing, and clear project sections.
Site Outline
- Home: A quick introduction, featured projects, and a short summary of my design focus.
- Projects: A gallery of portfolio projects, including product design, branding, and visual design.
- About: Background information, design interests, education, and skills.
- Contact: Email, LinkedIn, portfolio links, and a short message for potential collaborators.
CSS and Style Plan
The website will use a soft neutral background, dark text, and small accent colors to keep the work as the main focus. I plan to use clean sans-serif fonts, rounded content cards, and a centered layout. Images will be large enough to show detail, while the navigation will stay simple so users do not feel lost.

SEO keywords used in the head section include: product design portfolio, visual design, UX design, branding, motion design, and Berkeley designer.

Accessibility and Mobile Plan
The site will be designed for desktop and mobile screens. I will use readable text, strong contrast, descriptive links, image alt text, and simple navigation. I will also check the page with validation, mobile testing, and accessibility tools.
