About

The website's design draws inspiration from art.yale.edu. In a UX class, a classmate once presented it as an example of poor design, but I loved it. I like how its eccentric, collage-like layout stands out over the repeated image. The chair's unusual patterns allow colors to inhabit unexpected shapes, giving the piece a lively, DIY feel. The bold, puke-like yellows were chosen with the same deliberate care as the subtle eggshell whites found on a sharp tech site. Since this website doubles as a portfolio for recruiters, I had to tame some elements, like choosing sleeker colors and fonts. It taught me that sometimes the effort behind an idea matters more than the idea itself.
