2026UI/UX portfolio

A six-page personal UI/UX portfolio for Gireesh, styled as a designer’s desk, with a work board, a process scene and illustrative case studies.

What we created

Gireesh — a designer's working desk — Home first screen on a green cutting-mat grid: the g✳ logo, the nav Work 03 / About / Process / Let’s talk ✳ and the 'Ⅱ Motion on' toggle above a ruler line, 'INDEPENDENT DESIGNER' and 'BASED IN FRANCE · OPEN TO THE WORLD', '○ WELCOME TO MY LITTLE CORNER OF THE INTERNET', the large cream 'Gireesh' with a pink ✳, a pink 'UI/UX DESIGNER & CREATIVE THINKER' strip, 'I turn “what if” into things people love to use.' and an 'Explore my work ✳' button. Around them lie stationery cutouts (pink folder, blue scissors, tortoiseshell glasses, a red pencil running off the right edge, crumpled paper ball), a yellow 'A NOTE TO SELF' note ('Make it useful. Make it feel good. Then add a little unexpected.' and 'always stay curious :)') and the handwritten 'A work in progress. Just like all good thin…', whose last word is under the paper ball; the bottom row reads 'THOUGHTFUL BY DESIGN. PLAYFUL BY NATURE.', 'SCROLL TO LOOK AROUND', 'PORTFOLIO / 2026'.
Gireesh — a designer's working desk — The work board: taped, tilted polaroid-style project cards for FORME (a burgundy handbag on ochre, 'EVERYDAY.

Gireesh — a designer's working desk — About section: a taped cream note 'HELLO AGAIN, I’M GIREESH. – Curiosity is my favourite design tool.' with two short bio paragraphs, 'A little more about me' and a 'Gireesh' signature, next to the pink tabbed dossier (Experience / My approach / Toolkit) open at the Toolkit tab: 'A FEW THINGS IN MY TOOLBOX – Whatever the idea needs.', with chips such as Prototyping, Design systems, User research, Interaction design, Art direction and Motion, 'Tools change.

Go on, give them a try.') with both experiments: EXPERIMENT 001 TYPE + MOTION, whose 'MAKE IT!' letters are tilted, shifted and recoloured by 'Remix the type' ('Same letters. A different feeling.'), and EXPERIMENT 002 COLOR + FEELING, whose 'Good energy. A LITTLE CONTRAST GOES A LONG WAY.' poster is in the cobalt-and-lime palette with the blue swatch selected ('Pick a color. Change the mood.').
