Laggy load here of images and background. Honestly, I was so distracted by the download process of the site that my focus was there rather than on your content. Looks like you worked hard on this so sorry!

Pretty cool design. If I had one criticism it would be the nav - it seems a bit clunky compared to the rest of the design somehow and drew my attention away from the main content for some reason. Really like the image 'reveal' effect, very nice.

I am guessing you may be in the initial phase of your site. Here are a couple of tips while you are still in development.

Your portfolio on the home page says coming soon on all the pieces which lead me to a 404 error page because the links don't go anywhere. Make sure in your a tags you at least have a # in them. That way when people click it stays on the page.

A nice summary about yourself on the home page would have been nice. Who are you and what do you do? Like 2 sentences.

In your about section, I like that you added your picture. Puts a face to the brand. When you get some time, put more information about yourself, what you do, etc instead of lorem ipsum.

In your contact page, your social media links do not lead anywhere. I would at least go ahead and have them link to your social media until your site is done.

For your contact form, if you could find a way to get the names of the form inputs to have a consistent font, size, and contrast with color with the rest of the page that would be great. At this point it is very hard to read.

Overall, I like the background, the simplicity, and I think you are heading in the right direction.

Here is some inspiration of some coming soon and landing pages that hopefully give you some ideas.

I hope I was helpful and Good Luck.

Thanks. Yes Veronica, I agree with you. Still need to do more small things, but it was important for me to put it out live on the web. Its helping me to act and do stuff more faster and fight with procrastination.

Cynthia. The imgs are placeholders imgs from another website. kind of lorem pixel. I think because of this, its effecting the load time. Ill look into this.

jasonjones5. Thanks! I like the nav :) But Ill try to look for something more elegant or smooth.
