so here's what i need for my portfolio landing page. i'm a freelance designer called "Mara Chen" and i specialize in brand identity and web design.

the hero section should have my name big and bold, with a tagline underneath that says "Design that speaks before words do" or something catchy like that. background should be this warm off-white with maybe some subtle grain texture. the CTA should say "View My Work" and scroll down to the projects section.

for the projects section i need 5 featured case studies. first one is "Lumina Skincare" — a rebrand where i did the full identity, packaging, website. second is "BrewHaus" — a craft brewery taproom redesign. third is "Neon Athletics" — a fitness app UI/UX with the tagline "movement redefined." fourth is "Olive & Stone" — a boutique hotel brand identity. fifth is "Wavelength Records" — an indie record label visual system. each project card should show a hero image, the project name, the category (Brand, Web, UI/UX, etc), and a short blurb maybe 2 sentences max.

there's also an about section. i've been designing for 7 years, based in Portland OR, i've worked with clients in hospitality, beauty, tech, and music. i studied at RISD. i also do illustration on the side but that's not the main thing.

testimonials section — 3 quotes. one from the Lumina Skincare founder saying something about how the rebrand increased their online sales by 40%. one from the BrewHaus owner about how the new look brought in a younger crowd. and one from some agency director who contracted me saying i'm reliable and creative.

the footer should have links to my instagram, dribbble, linkedin, and an email contact form. also copyright 2026.

oh almost forgot — the color palette should be: primary off-white #F5F0EB, accent coral #E8654A, dark text #2D2926, and a subtle sage green #A8B5A0 for secondary elements.

one more thing: mobile layout needs to stack properly. the project grid should go from 2 columns to single column on phones. And the navbar should collapse into a hamburger menu.
