currently in Week 6 of a web design bootcamp

Oben Nathan Orie —
building my way
into web design.

First-year university student, bootcamp learner, and someone who's decided the best way to learn design is to keep shipping small, honest projects in public.

Portrait of Oben Nathan Orie
about me

Still early, still building.

I'm Oben Nathan Orie, a first-year university student currently working through a web design bootcamp alongside my degree. I like that design sits right between logic and creativity — you're solving a problem, but you also get to make it feel good to use.

Most of what's here is recent. I'd rather show real progress — half-finished ideas, small wins, things I'd redo differently now — than pretend I've got it all figured out. That's kind of the point of a first portfolio.
