Major visual redesign implementing clean, monochromatic design:

  • Replace colorful gradients with elegant black/white/gray palette
  • Introduce Playfair Display serif font for headings
  • Implement sophisticated layout with consistent grid system
  • Simplify navigation to essential sections only
  • Redesign hero with geometric visual element
  • Update all sections with side-by-side label/content layout
  • Remove colorful animations in favor of subtle transitions
  • Streamline sections (removed Education, Certificates, Achievements)
  • Update contact section to be more minimal and direct
  • Enhance typography hierarchy and spacing throughout
  • Apply professional designer portfolio aesthetic

The new design focuses on typography, whitespace, and subtle interactions rather than bright colors and heavy effects.
