Why this pattern works

Giving a solo designer a strong first impression with visible Work, About, and Contact routes. The live site continues into selected projects and a direct inquiry section. Selection is based on observable design and conversion paths; conversion rates have not been independently verified.

Design notes

Mood: Portrait Portfolio. A large portrait and moving name establish a memorable freelance design identity.
Colors: Neutral gray, white, and near-black, with the portrait carrying most tonal variation.
Type: Oversized name typography balanced by small utility navigation and a short role statement.
Layout: An edge-to-edge portrait hero with side-positioned location and specialty details.
Motion: The live hero uses a moving name treatment; keep it legible and provide a reduced-motion alternative.
Texture: Unboxed photography and a circular location badge.
Imagery: Use a professionally shot, naturally posed portrait with space for typography.
Don't: Do not require visitors to follow the moving name to locate contact information.

## Acceptance criteria
- Existing project conventions, design tokens, working functionality, and unrelated changes are preserved.
- Two or three reference principles clearly support the user's task; conflicts are resolved in favor of usability and the existing product.
- Reusable components and semantic HTML express the interface. Available licensed assets are used; important UI text is never rendered as a bitmap.
- Every visible control has a defined behavior. Loading, empty, error, success, disabled, and long-content states are specified where relevant. Demo data is clearly labeled.
- Navigation and content adapt at 375px, 768px, and 1440px without horizontal page overflow. Keyboard use, visible focus, labeled inputs, at least 44px touch targets, readable contrast, and reduced motion are supported.
- Verification distinguishes rendered behavior from proposals and identifies anything still requiring a backend or external service.

## Quality bar
Clear hierarchy, consistent spacing, restrained surfaces, and purposeful motion. Avoid decorative gradients, excessive cards, placeholder buttons, and invented metrics unless the project calls for them. Do not claim a feature is connected or tested without evidence.
