(概要)OUTLINE

デザインと生きる未来を目指して。

(en)

I created a portfolio website as the culmination of my studies at a vocational training school. With hiring managers as the primary audience, I focused on clear and intuitive information architecture throughout the design. My goal was to create a website that not only showcase my skills, but also makes viewers feel, “I’d like to meet and talk to this person.”

(詳細)DETAILS

Target
Hiring managers. On-site team managers.
Challenges
I didn’t have a portfolio website to showcase my work. It is difficult to express my personality, coding skills, and design decisions through resumes alone.
Objectives
To pass the document screening phase of job applications, spark interest from recruiters, and make them want to meet me. To convey my potential for growth.
Concept
Amiable and Steady.
Information Architecture
I focused most on designing from the perspective of the user—recruiters and hiring teams. Since portfolio pages often have deep and complex structures, I added breadcrumb navigation to help users quickly return to the main list and clearly see where they are within the site.
Design
The overall design is based on five key words: elegance, quiet confidence, refinement, credibility, and approachability. The handwritten-style font and slash details in the hero section express both gracefulness and the honesty that I value. To highlight one of my strengths—language skills—I included both Japanese and English from tablet view upward. Since the primary audience is Japanese, I designed the typography to ensure Japanese remains the visual focus. Font size, line width, and color were all carefully adjusted for balance between the two languages. For the color scheme, black was used as the base to create a poised atmosphere, while beige was added as an accent to soften the look and add warmth.
Key Points
1. User-Centered Information Architecture
I paid special attention to how recruiters would interact with the site. To help them find what they’re most interested in right away, key projects are placed immediately after the hero section. Featured works are displayed on the top page, with a button to view the full list. On each project detail page, an overview is presented at the top in list format, along with direct links to websites or PDFs, so users can quickly find the information they need. I included detailed descriptions where context matters, while keeping other areas concise to maintain readability and flow.
2. Expressing My Personality
Beyond structure, I aimed to communicate who I am through the tone and visuals of the site. Elements like font choice and graphic accents are designed to convey calm confidence and clarity. On the top page, I used larger typography, generous whitespace, handwritten font accents, and bold layout choices to express both my gracefulness and strong personal values. Knowing that recruiters often have limited time to review many applications, I focused especially on the first impression—crafting a top page that makes people think, “There’s something nice about this.”
