I Built an Awwwards-Level Portfolio to Land My Dream Job (Here’s How)

Watch how I built an Awwwards-worthy portfolio website from scratch to stand out to top design agencies. In this video, I break down my entire process—from initial concept and mood boarding to typography choices and advanced animations with GSAP and Framer Motion.

I'll show you how I:

Created a strategic plan to showcase both my freelance projects and smaller features I've built
Developed a minimal but impactful design system
Implemented scroll-reactive animations and interactive elements
Built a responsive, performant site using Next.js

Perfect for designers, developers, and creative professionals looking to elevate their personal brand and create a portfolio that opens doors to dream opportunities.
