It's that project we all put off—but it was finally time to give my personal site a refresh! While my site usually centers around my work, I figured I'd make it more fun this time, sharing more about the movies and books I enjoy, hobbies, side projects, and dedicating a section to friends I wanted to thank too.

Making the site feel "alive"

With the previous iteration of the site, I went ultra-minimal purely focusing on the summary for each section to give people a quick overview of my experience. This time, in addition to those summaries, I wanted visuals to tell the story as well and give people a better glimpse of my work.

And those animations are scattered all around the site. From the "TV" screen panels for each job to the little logos as well.

Most importantly... just having fun with it

I wanted the personal site to be an expression of my personality too! So alongside the work and the hobbies, you'll find random easter eggs scattered throughout the site.

The social banner features the Memoji 😄

...and hidden hover states include obnoxious transitions 😂
