Ideas that shaped the portfolio.
A board of references, concepts, and visual decisions that pushed the portfolio into its next iteration.
Chef pet sprite sheet
This reference shaped the Chef pet iteration. The sprite cadence and run loop helped test whether dribble motion felt believable while dragging inside the portfolio.

Hauwa Suleiman portfolio
A bright, editorial portfolio with oversized type, handwritten notes, and playful spacing. It nudged the portfolio toward a softer, more personal presentation.

3D bookshelf scroll animation in Framer
This reference pushed the bookshelf iteration. The scroll-pinned sequencing and staged book reveals are the pieces that translate best back into the portfolio.

Tim Ogundipe portfolio
A cinematic, dark portfolio with strong atmosphere, bold headline hierarchy, and motion-led entry. It sharpened the portfolio’s sense of contrast and pacing.

Mockhaus
A realistic mockup storefront with bold product framing and lots of physical texture. It is useful when I want my work previews to feel more tangible and premium.

Dialkit
Dialkit was useful for nudging the controls, getting the bookshelf opening interaction right, and dialing in the smaller motion details around the portfolio.
