Design Engineer Portfolio Template

Loading the design…

A dark portfolio organised as a patch bay: the work, the open-source contributions, the capabilities and the career, wired together rather than listed. It is the most structurally inventive portfolio in the library.

About this design

Design engineering sits between two disciplines and most portfolios in it pick a side. The patch-bay device is what lets this one hold both — capabilities and career are addressable as connections rather than as a résumé, so the page shows range without reading as a list of jobs.

The keys section at the end is a small, deliberate touch: the page is navigable from the keyboard, which for this audience is a credential in itself.

How to use this template

Look through the design
Scroll the live preview on this page. It is the real design engineer portfolio template running in the browser, not a screenshot, so what you see is what you get.
Say what you want it to be
Type your business, product or subject into the box, and attach a logo, photos or a brief if you have them, or leave it blank to start from the design exactly as it is. Starting a project from a template is a paid-plan feature; looking through them is not.
Let it be rebuilt around you
The copy, the palette and the imagery are rewritten for your subject while the layout, typography and motion of the original are kept.
Keep editing, then export
Open it on the canvas to change anything by prompt or by hand, then publish it or export the code.

Questions

What is the patch bay?

It is the page's organising device — capabilities and work are shown as connections rather than as lists. It is decorative and structural at once.

Can I make it light?

Yes. Ask for a light palette and the whole system re-themes, including the patch bay.

Is this design engineer portfolio template free to use?

Browsing is free and needs no account — you can scroll the whole design on this page, at desktop and at mobile width, before deciding anything. Starting a project from a template is on the paid plans.

Can I change the colours and fonts?

Yes — every colour in this design is a named token and every typeface is declared once, so asking for your own brand rewrites a handful of declarations rather than regenerating the page. This template currently uses Chivo and Chivo Mono.

Do I need an account to look at the templates?

No. Every template page, its live preview and all the category pages are open to anyone — no account, no sign-up wall. An account and a paid plan are needed only when you start a project from one.

Do I need to know how to design or code?

No. You describe what you want in plain language and the page is rebuilt around it. If you do write code, you can export the HTML and CSS and take it with you.
