To Think On
How do you want to present yourself when viewers see your portfolio website?
Among all your projects, which ones align with your style and aesthetic the most? Which ones feel off-brand and might need removal?
What additional information can you provide within your projects to give viewers a clearer understanding of your process and the project context?
Actionable
Add an introduction line or tagline on your homepage to give viewers an idea of who you are and what you do.
Start filtering your projects and align your portfolio more closely with your preferred style and aesthetic.
Improve project formatting on your website, making sure to include detailed descriptions and articulate your thought process for each project.
