Interesting layout, it comes off looking really static somehow, maybe it’s the illustrations that ground it in place… I do like this site, very strong illustrations and clearly being a portfolio you can just dive right into looking through the work. I’m not hip on the justified text on the left sidebar but I can see where one would really want the grid to be tight though.

Large, close targets are faster to hit than small, distant ones, that’s Fitts’s Law. A look at the 1954 rule behind buttons, prime and magic pixels, thumb zones, and dark patterns.
Your working memory holds about four things, not seven. Chunking groups loose information into meaningful units that slip past that limit, the psychology behind phone numbers, scannable pages, multi-step forms, and grouped navigation.
The Call to Action hasn’t changed in a decade, but the bar has. A fresh look at prominence, copy, mobile tap targets, and accessibility, with lessons from three major design systems.
I think the design wouldn’t have worked without the perfect balance between the crazy background visual and the almost Swiss grid holding everything in place. Very easy to scan without getting dull… well done!
The illustration does it for me too. Monkeys and a baby buggy, silliness…
