    just a small note is that the text is sometimes hard to read when over similar colour portions in the background. you might like to experiment with contrasting outlines

      To add to this, you should use a color contrast checker to make sure it is accessible for those with low vision, color blindness, or other visual impairments!

    I am absolutely BAWLING at the video of the first ever sewing machine. A parent listening to their child and providing the means for that child to be successful? i am so happy I am inconsolable. And I hope the creator knows she is now inspiring future textile artists by showcasing a project that took time, dedication, and passion.

    This is so cool! To take your site to the next level, I recommend the following to help make your website more accessible to all (if you haven't already done so)
    - use background + text color combinations with high levels of contrast
    - add alternative text to your images
    - make sure your text can be picked up by a screenreader (typically if you can highlight it with your mouse you're good)
    Happy designing! ❤

    What a unique and creative website! Looking at it in the video I'm concerned with it being not very accessible, as some have already pointed out (font is difficult to read, and does not have enough contrast to it's background). The menu, navigation and scroll direction is creative, but I wonder if works on mobile? I'd hate for someone to not explore your portfolio due to technical difficulties, so these are some things to consider :)
