This website is built the same way I approach any project I take on professionally. Since it is a showcase of my career, it felt right that the process behind it should reflect how I actually work.
I start by planning, then defining the fundamentals: colour, typography, and visual style. Once those are in place, I apply them in a modular way, building each part of the project on top of a consistent foundation. This makes every decision faster to implement, easier to keep coherent, and simpler to improve over time.
This post documents that process, one layer at a time.
The Colour Palette
The palette is built around four core colours, each playing a specific role in the visual hierarchy, with white as the accent.
White is the accent. It appears on calls to action, key headings and interactive elements, giving the eye a clear place to land without complicating the palette.
