Pick #6 — Adrien Lamy built his portfolio like a cartoon you can play with

Today's designer: Adrien Lamy (Paris) — freelance creative developer, WebGL specialist, and the guy who turned his personal site into an interactive hand-drawn world.

Open adrienlamy.fr and you land on a flat red canvas with a cartoon self-portrait. Not a hero image — a draggable character you can throw around the screen. The site scrolls through a full color-mode cycle: bright red, then dark with red particle bursts, then back — all driven by WebGL, all hand-drawn in a single consistent illustration style. It's the kind of thing that makes you forget you were looking for work samples.

Behind the cartoon exterior: eight-plus years of professional WebGL and frontend work. His project list on the about panel reads like a studio reel — Sprite x Marvel, Virgin Galactic, and Dept Pioneer built at Dogstudio (one of the most respected interactive studios in Europe), plus Claynosaurz Booster Packs in collaboration with the NFT project directly, and Holymelt with Antinomy. He also made a game for Gobelins, the Paris art school.

The hand-drawn style is not a gimmick layered on top. The same cartoon logic runs through the navigation, the hover states, the about section, the footer. It's a single point of view executed all the way through — which is rarer than it sounds. Most portfolio sites with personality stop at the landing screen.

Why it's this pick: The centered composition requirement for this series prompted a closer look at how designers use visual weight. Adrien's site does it unusually well — every screen puts the cartoon figure dead-center, with the rest of the layout radiating out from that anchor. The result is a site that looks playful but never disorganized.
