The centerpiece of the identity is a series of vector self-portrait illustrations—each one depicting a different version of me tailored to represent each service area. These character illustrations create a personal, approachable brand presence while maintaining visual consistency across the portfolio.

The logo is built from two code carets (< >) that rotate around each other to form the letters S and N. This dual-character system references the development side of my practice while creating a flexible, animated mark. As the site scrolls, the logo seamlessly transitions between the two letterforms, creating a subtle sense of motion and technical craft.

The visual language employs bold colors and geometric shapes. The cartoonish style adds a playful touch, making the brand feel approachable and friendly in contrast to the trend of building portfolios that are machine-like and impersonal.

Color is assigned by service area, with each section receiving its own signature hue that dynamically impacts the interface. This creates clear spatial orientation. The contrast is stark between blues, purples, oranges, and pinks, creating a clear demarcation between areas of the site, and also demonstrating my willingness to oversaturate a bit when necessary.
