I did it. It only took me two years and some change.
But here it is, for better or worse. I'd love to hear your criticisms - constructive, destructive, and otherwise - or praises.
I'm also actively seeking freelance in and around the Greater Metro-Detroit area. Or for those daring enough i'm comfortable working remotely.
Thanks for your time,
Derek

that's a clean wordpress theme. almost too clean, bordering on corporate. that's just my opinion right now though. it looks good. i like the grab and throw functionality.

Aye, looks great. Some really nice work in there. Only slight crit would be how the whole about page scrolls vs the portfolio area where the left nav is fixed.

Nice site and solid work. My only criticism is in selection. I probably wouldn't show the GoodSweat logo. It seems out of place with the rest of your logos.
And the "Taxi Cab Kids" doesn't seem as strong when compared to your "Ten Fast Feet" work. Good stuff.

love it, i'm going to steal it :)
The only thing i would add is a visual indicator for each project in the works landing sections, so when you go to Ten fast feet, maybe have a bit of the work or a related enlement on the first frame to go along with the text.

Nice dude, the work and your folio.
I feel like you could probably make the about page a bit more interesting however, maybe follow a similar flow to how the projects work for the sections..?

The responsive site is great and really like the work. The copywriting is spot on also. Good job!

Nicely done. The green on white is a little bit hard to pick up. Also, the project intro text seems slightly strangely positioned. I'd be tempted to put it over to the left like you've done on the about page, and try to grid it up with the left menu.
Good stuff though.

This is great stuff.

The mix of Very Much Constant And Solidly-There left hand nav and Freezie-Breezie Modern Scrolling UI feels a bit awkward - not that they don't work together, rather that something feels redundant and unconsidered when you feel the need to waste your landing content with instructions on how to use the site.
Can you not fill up that landing content with something the user might actually want to see or read, whilst providing hints or prompts at how the site works?
Nice work otherwise though!
- Excellent feedback about the landing content. Much appreciated!d_rek

"What makes you different than Freelancer / Studio X?
I hate these types of questions. But if you insist:"To which I answer—
"Eh? I insisted nothing - I was reading your about section and you wrote a series of questions to yourself?"Nothing wrong with the narrative here, but there's something wrong with the form.

I've been searching for that kind of jquery code to use on a site.
Does anyone know if there is something like that available without being a wordpress theme?Great work btw!

you should put higher res pictures because of the responsiveness on a 27" monitor they get pixelated..
