What it does

An enormous EGSTAD wordmark dominates a warm gray personal portfolio. A floating circular portrait crosses the opening, followed by a large compact introduction, small information columns and pill-shaped contact controls.

Section roster

1. Small pill navigation. 2. Oversized EGSTAD wordmark. 3. Floating portrait cutout. 4. Large designer introduction. 5. Compact information and contact.

Why it works

The huge name creates a memorable first impression, while the portrait adds personality without requiring a conventional headshot layout. Small utilitarian controls keep navigation secondary.

Source and capture notes

Refero [style page](https://styles.refero.design/style/ec17bdec-c8fa-4221-abd6-da717bf38d96) and [recorded video](https://images.refero.design/styles/refero.design/video/bcc2d76b-7071-4a90-a2b5-3c4f8429c393.mp4); [live site](https://egstad.com/) checked on 2026-10-05. The recording is a point-in-time reference; current site content may differ. Descriptions distinguish the recording from the current page where they differ. Layout and motion notes come from sampled recording frames and automated live captures; interactive controls were not comprehensively tested. The recording concentrates on the introduction rather than a complete project walkthrough.
