Voice & Don'ts
Tone Playful, personal, and approachable. Headlines Bold, hand-written, and expressive. CTAs Casual and conversational, presented as simple links. Don't use perfectly straight, geometric lines — the screenshot shows slightly wobbly, hand-drawn borders. Don't use corporate, polished typography — the screenshot shows bold, hand-written style headers. Don't use a complex color palette — the screenshot is primarily monochrome with minimal red/blue accents. Don't use heavy, realistic drop shadows — the screenshot shows a subtle paper lift effect. Don't use standard, uniform icons — the screenshot features custom, sketchy, hand-drawn icons. Don't use standard rounded UI components — the screenshot shows irregular, sketched rectangles. Avoid: Formal corporate language Avoid: Overly complex UI patterns Avoid: Strict grid layouts

System prompt
This is a playful personal portfolio site that uses a hand-drawn notebook aesthetic. The design relies on a strict monochrome palette with a bright white background (#FFFFFF) and deep black ink (#000000), accented by a single touch of red (#D93025) for the flag icon. Typography is bold and humanist-sans, using heavy weights and wide letter-spacing to mimic a thick marker. The layout is a simple, centered vertical column of sketchy link buttons. Key constraints: Avoid straight geometric lines in favor of slightly wobbly, hand-drawn borders; avoid polished, corporate UI elements; avoid complex color gradients; avoid realistic 3D effects in favor of subtle paper shadows; avoid perfectly uniform icons; avoid formal, rigid grid layouts.

Why we curated this: This site is worth including as a prime example of a skeuomorphic, hand-drawn UI that uses deliberate imperfection to create a highly personal and memorable brand identity.
