Architecture Design Decisions
These decisions were intentional to ensure the site feels professional, calm, and easy to navigate:
- Minimal black-and-white visual language to reduce distraction
- Grayscale imagery in personal sections to reinforce storytelling
- Color used intentionally only where it adds meaning
- Mobile-first layout with progressive enhancement for desktop
- Subtle animations to enhance interactivity without overwhelming
Results & Learnings
The platform consolidates my professional experience into a structured, database-driven system with full administrative control. It enables efficient content updates through a secure admin panel and provides a continuously evolving showcase aligned with modern architectural standards.
