Overview
Hokage is a personal portfolio website crafted to showcase creative work with bold personality and precision. The goal was to design a sleek, impactful digital space that reflects the creator’s style, skills, and story—without sacrificing usability or performance.
UX/UI Design
For Hokage, we knew the user experience had to balance aesthetic appeal and functional clarity. Visitors should be drawn in by the visuals but also be able to navigate effortlessly.
Key UX/UI Decisions:
Clean, scroll-based navigation with smooth transitions
Dynamic layout with modular sections: work, about, contact, etc.
Visual hierarchy that emphasizes standout projects and calls to action
Subtle animations to add interactivity without distraction
The UI was bold and personal—built around strong typography, high-contrast visuals, and a minimal color scheme that lets the work speak for itself.
