How this portfolio was built: A story
I started working on this portfolio/personal website last year , this being my very first time exploring and discovering the possibilities in Framer and also how people around the world are using it in the most creative ways. This website is an attempt to be experimental in terms of how a portfolio/personal website should be. Though at very core of all designs lies the problem that we try to solve and here is my purpose being to reflect intent behind a design, designs can be made by leveraging AI but the depth & personality is unique to each designer.
Design Choices
Exploration:
I aimed to make it scannable yet reflecting a personality
Bento/Modular design is something that is there and being used for a while but the hidden factor it carries in terms of digital design is its adaptivity across devices.
Human intent powered by AI Assistance:
The intent of smallest details and decisions were all mine but I utilization of AI in my workflow helped me to uncover and come up with artifacts that are of utility but at the same time added depth to my design.
Evolving further
I attempted to utilize Green UX practices by using a website carbon calculator in coming phases after feedback and testing. I aim to expand & implement further such practices alongside other very less talked domains for instance AI ethics, Agentic Behavior and others.
While this might be an attempt to wrap up and reflect me and my work and life philosophy in a concise manner but with more learnings and feedbacks I aim to keep evolving , serving as one of the virtual diaries.
