THE LAB / RETRO WINDOWS-INSPIRED PORTFOLIO
An alternate portfolio built like an operating system.
Most portfolios are designed to be browsed. I wanted one that could be explored — draggable windows, small tools, games, conversations, music, notes, and a few things that probably did not need to exist.
Launch The Lab ↗︎WHY I BUILT IT
To make a portfolio feel less like a brochure and more like a place you can wander through.
WHAT I WAS TESTING
Interface nostalgia, playful navigation, conversational UX, public interaction, and personality in digital products.
THE SYSTEM
A collection of small experiences that share one visual language and live inside the same desktop world.
