needs lot's of work. it's not effective bud. i really wanted to view more, but got frustrated. trying simply laying out your work and build your user interface around that. keep it simple stupid. ;) good luck !

I find the scrolling interface frustrating; it doesn't give feedback about how far I've travelled through your collection. Also, at the moment contacting you about a particular design could be tricky.
Might be nice to add a text description to every item - could even number them / give them a title (which would solve the problems above).
At the moment, the large views of your images all maximise to different sizes and aspect ratios, which gives the interface an unprofessional feel. I'd try to standardise this.
I think some of the info that you have popping up via the lightbox interface should be integrated into the main page... (eg. the 'about' and 'contact' info). Imo as a user, having to click to see such a small amount of info, makes it seem like you're more interested in showing off jquery rather than providing me with info.
Think about who you imagine will visit the site, and what they're going to require. Personally, if I'm looking at your designs,
-> I want to be able to view each design individually, with as little distraction as possible.
-> Be able to refer to specific designs easily
-> Move through / find specific designs easily.
-> Bookmark / get in contact if necessaryThink about what you want to get from the site as well -> if you want people to contact you after looking at your work .. make it blindingly simple for the user to do this. Add a 'contact me about this item' button to each piece.. add a comment box directly into the page. Allow people to connect with you via social networking sites.
