Snoopy was one of those things that somehow kept showing up. Maybe it was the comics, the little drawings, or just the fact that a dog could spend one day pretending to be a World War I flying ace and the next day doing absolutely nothing. Either way, I liked him.
There's something about Snoopy that I still find familiar: he's curious, he makes things up, he tries things just because he can, and he doesn't seem particularly interested in following the expected script.
That felt like a pretty good character to have around while building a design portfolio.
I like taking things apart to understand how they work, turning ideas into things I can actually interact with, and wondering, “what happens if I try this?” So Snoopy ended up here.
Not because he represents some profound design philosophy, but because I wanted the portfolio to feel like mine. A little curious, a little playful, and with room for things that are simply fun.
Design can solve serious problems. It can also make you smile when you click the right thing.
I like both.
