A portfolio with personality

Notes on building a portfolio around color, story, and a more human visual rhythm.

A portfolio with personality

I want this portfolio to feel like a conversation: clear, honest, and unmistakably mine.

Portfolio palette

The design direction is simple: blue as identity, light beige as breathing room, brown as contrast, and a warmer beige for cards and transitions.

Publishing stories with photos

Astro’s content collections are a great fit for this. I can keep every story inside src/content/blog and write in plain Markdown.

To add a photo inside a post, I just use standard Markdown image syntax:

![My photo in Campinas](/blog/my-photo.jpg)

If I later want embedded UI components or richer storytelling blocks, MDX is the natural upgrade path.
