Rebuilding my portfolio from scratch

Today I deleted my old portfolio and started again. It worked, but it no longer showed how I think and work now.

This time I did it the way I’d approach any product: first the design system in Figma — colours, type, spacing, four themes — then the copy in two languages, and only then the code, one small stage at a time, checking every step in the browser and on my phone.

The biggest lesson of the day: decisions are faster when the foundations are ready. Once the tokens and texts existed, each page took minutes to agree on instead of hours.
