Wow, this has to be my favorite portfolio site that I've seen in a while. The transitions are super smooth, I love the hand illustration (especially the gem at the end), and the split column layout is pretty fun!

Second the 'favorite portfolio in a while' sentiment. Excellent.

Third!

This is really beautiful. My only (tiny) critique/gripe is its similarity to OK Real—down to the typeface. But still, that’s probably coincidental.

That's the first thing I noticed as well with the underlined ITC Clearface on a solid color taking up half the page. Definitely not a rip though - more like a subtle nod. Lots of nice and original stuff on this site.

I'm a huge fan of this typeface but the similarity was indeed too close. I updated the site with some more of the illustrative lettering.
Other things like the half-split structure have an conceptual background.
I'm incredibly thankful for all your feedback!
Alex Wu, almost 9 years ago seriously loved the high 5 at the end, felt reward for browsing through all that awesome content
Andrew B, almost 9 years ago It's really nice. The standard of presentation is fantastic too.
The illustrations don't quite fit with the clean geometric shapes. Seems a bit mismatched. I'd be inclined to go with one or the other.
I'm looking for things to pick out here though. My first impression was 'wow'
Yeah, I get what you mean. After looking through it a couple of times I decided I like it even more for the mis-matched feeling this creates, maybe less for it's impact and more because I have looked though countless portfolio sites that are over-the-top clean and "professional"-looking, and this was a nice little way to say that you can be clean and professional and throw some originality and hand-drawn elements into the mix.
Thank you Matt - these where exactly my thoughts. I had a very clean version at the beginning but there was some kind of "twist" missing. I feel very comfortable with the illustrations at the moment - a good combination of "business & party".
John Davies, almost 9 years ago The intro is bugged in Safari.
OMG – You found the easter egg! Thank you for the feedback ;)

Not a serious critique, but fun nonetheless:
At normal aspect ratios, the image for myControl is cropped such that you can’t see much, and it looks like the phone is being held by a woman with a single hairy man-hand.
hahaha - I've been laughing about this for quite a while but sometimes you got do deal with what you get ;)

WOW! What software or drawing tool was used to create those sweet sketched wireframes?
Katherine W, almost 9 years ago
Would love to know this too!
The wireframes were digitised in Photoshop with a Wacom tablet – originally I used pen and paper.

The hands remind me a lot of Karlie McCulloch's work. Really nice kinetic type , transitions, and colours; though I'm not so keen on the hover effect on the project images.

What a great portfolio.
Fundamentally great, flashy in the right ways.
Absolutely love it.
Sam Mathews, almost 9 years ago Amazing work Melanie! Sent you an email because we loved it soo much ;). Keep on rocking.
Daniel Fisher, almost 9 years ago
Beautiful, great work! The hand at the end makes it. High five
Ronan Costello, almost 9 years ago
Really great portfolio example which doesn't over do it. Great job Melanie.
Christoph Hellmuth, almost 9 years ago Its a really great site, but why do you need a loader at the begining? It took forever until I could use the site, and in the end I felt like it was your site and not my Interenet. Which is not the best feeling.
Dimitrie Hoekstra, almost 9 years ago Greatest website portfolio in a long time indeed!
Denis K, almost 9 years ago (edited almost 9 years ago )
That hand reminds me of Anton's site
Po Rith, almost 9 years ago
Whoa, impressive. -_-

Such a lovely site! I'm in love with the script animations.
