    70's, 80's look

    I think you have a good concept and idea of what you want out of your design, you just need to refine it.

    I would simple call this a retro design.

    Now lets improve on that, the navigation needs a complete overhaul, there is nothing going on there and it looks lost compared to all the big things around it.

    The portfolio and current projects separate spaces look so non-connected its scary. You need to make it more uniform.

    Finally, I would personally fix up the typography a bit and stop squishing into design elements. It makes it hard to read current projects when the letters are touching the outside of the quote box, etc...

    I do think you should embrace your name though, because it's all you got, so who cares.
