Portfolio v1

Built over nearly two years through many iterations. I wanted something that felt alive — canvas animations, glassmorphism cards, gradient overlays, and switchable color themes. Every visual decision was intentional.

It was a design statement. Proof that I could build something visually complex and make it feel cohesive. At the time, that was exactly the right goal.

Eventually the question changed. Not because v1 was wrong — but because my thinking moved on. I stopped asking 'how can the design be impressive' and started asking 'how can it disappear?'
