Overview 🚀
- Built everything from scratch for a unique user experience
- Nominated by Awwwards (Dec 24, 2021)
Origin 2.0 🪴
I've always wanted to create something creative and original (but relatable and user-centered) since my first and simple website. Took a month for brainstorming. Story? Game? App? It went on and on. Then I recalled how amazed I was at the touch screens after transitioning from keypad phones. Thus, Oakfolio was born.
Challenges 🔥
- As it was not a regular website experience, I had to balance creativity with usability and ensure that the user's journey was intuitive.
- I also added immersive audio and visual elements to prevent the experience from becoming monotonous.
- Device frame, toolbar (with music player), content, and layout must be responsive for all break-points. So, the complexity of ideation, information hierarchy, user empathizing, design, and development significantly increased but I managed to nail all of them.
Oak + Portfolio + Beats = Oakfolio and Chill! 🌳
It was nominated for an Awwward. The project also allowed me to expand my skillset and add more value to my clients' online businesses.
