To Think On
- What are the areas of design and business that you feel like you need to learn more about? And where or who should you learn them from?
- How do you want to format your design portfolio website? Is it about the quantity and exploration of your projects? Or is it about the quality and depth you go with your design projects?
Actionable

- Consider how you want to format your images in your portfolio website so they don't go beyond the fold.
