Writer's Portfolio - Ethereal Elegance

I've created a writer's portfolio that embodies minimalism with expansive space, drawing inspiration from Japanese design principles, Norwegian simplicity, mid-century modern aesthetics, and Renaissance artistry—all wrapped in a subtle fantasy element with a video game HUD-style navigation.

Key Features

1. Minimalist Design with Expansive Space

   • Clean, uncluttered layout with generous whitespace
   • Soft, neutral color palette inspired by Japanese aesthetics
   • Elegant typography with careful attention to spacing and hierarchy

2. Video Game HUD-Style Navigation

   • Floating navigation bar with subtle backdrop blur
   • Status indicators in the corners for a HUD-like experience
   • Interactive elements that respond to user movement

3. Award-Winning Animations

   • Custom cursor that transforms when hovering over interactive elements
   • Smooth scroll snapping between full-height sections
   • Subtle reveal animations for content as you navigate
   • Elegant hover effects on interactive elements

4. Fantasy Elements

   • Ethereal naming ("Elysian Words")
   • Subtle circular elements that evoke celestial bodies
   • Soft gradients and layering that create depth and mystery

5. Cultural Design Influences

   • Japanese design: asymmetry, negative space, and simplicity
   • Norwegian design: functionality with natural elements
   • Mid-century modern: clean lines with organic shapes
   • Renaissance inspiration: balanced composition and harmony

The portfolio features snap scrolling for a controlled, elegant browsing experience with sections for the writer's works, about information, and contact details—all presented with sophisticated animations and generous whitespace.
