If you’ve visited my site in the past, you’ll notice it looks different now. I’d like to take a minute to detail some of the changes. First, to the redesign. I’m using a WordPress theme called SimpleFolio, designed by the makers of Slimmity.
SimpleFolio is a widget-ready theme that comes with a Portfolio template, which showcases my work both on the homepage through a custom slider and on the portfolio page. I’ve changed the theme’s color scheme, in addition to designing a custom logo.
My move to include a portfolio and showcase myself online started with a basic question: How could I showcase my portfolio online? I did some research and contacted some of my former colleagues, even a former professor at TCU. Their advice was to do as much research as I could to match the presentation of my portfolio to others in my industry.
Online portfolios will never completely take the place of the traditional resume and portfolio. They are valuable for interviews, for both the employer and the job-seeker. But, this is a way to showcase some of my work in advance of an interview.
