Interesting, but you need more work on UX and designing with purpose and Why. Overall, can be better in design. Dev - Haven't seen an example yet.

Well, I think everyone needs to work on that. You basically said "nice, but I think you still need to be working on becoming a better designer." This is true for you, and for everyone. That being said, I think this is a really nice portfolio, especially for people looking for a "Web 2.0" (yea yea I said web 2.0 sue me) style site. I would probably get rid of the Patrick Lynch page, it is by far your worst design in there. The rest I thought were very nice. As for the site, personally as a someone involved in the industry directly this is exactly what I need to see. It's no bullshit and quickly gets me to your work. I would definitely reach out to you. But I think you need a little more of a ramp up for the less savvy customers. Just a home page with a big "WE DO XYZ" like you've done for most of your clients would be a nicer introduction than going right into your work IMO. Nice stuff!

  Thanks a lot. I agree that I can definitely improve my skills, and I try to keep learning everyday. I'm really happy that you mentioned "Patrick Lynch" as one of the worst design, because its one of the earliest one that I did. About having a homepage with a big "We do XYZ", I actually launched this with the intention of getting a quick portfolio online showcasing my design work. Right now I am expecting to get work from web developers who need a designer, or customers who knows what they are looking for, so I figured diving right into the work is the right way to go. I intend to launch a full-fledged website in about 6 months with more elaborate information, a blog, links to social networks, etc. Right now, it makes no sense to link to an empty blog, or a empty twitter account, since I'm not sure if I'll be able to post regular updates on them, so I'll wait until I have the content ready.
