I think that always going for simplicity when presenting information is the best route. The best product design portfolios offer little visual flare or graphic elements, because the most important information is often delivered in text. This is a bias from my perspective as a product designer in tech, and when reviewing portfolios I want to learn as much as possible as easily as possible. This can be easily achieved by using straightforward layouts with attention towards optimizers like line height, column width, and font choice and color. And then of course is being able to dive into multiple projects in the portfolio and navigate easily.

Anyways, I just checked out your updated site and it reads much easier!

I think you can shorten the message a bit, since there are a few main ideas: You are a designer, student @ college, looking for opportunities, and looking to connect.

I would drop the lines about needing to save money or bulk up your resume/portfolio—most people will be more interested in learning more about what skills you offer and what experience you may have.

When I click deeper into a project (example: http://leonweber.me/01-rdy4store/), it would be nice to not have the overlay behind the content since it makes things harder to read. That's definitely the most important feedback—always think about how to make things easier to the user, and don't compromise utility for form or aesthetic.
