Portfolio
Project Overview:
For this assignment, I was tasked with updating and editing my portfolio. My original portfolio had a broken link, missing, and outdated information. Throughout this year, we performed check-ins and had time to fix specific portfolio sections and gather feedback from classmates.
Problems/Challenges:
My portfolio was a hot mess. I disliked it from the start and wanted to redo it completely. This assignment had me face multiple challenges. Some of my challenges were picking the location to host my portfolio and switching my domain from one platform to another.

My role for this project was to create a whole new portfolio. This required me to develop a style guide and implement edits within the portfolio.
Solution:
After careful consideration, I decided to host my portfolio on Squarespace, giving me the designs, layout, and effects I want to bring to life. But this was not an easy transfer. I spent multiple days, emails, and phone calls with Reclaim Hosting and Squarespace to transfer my domain. I was even considering getting a brand new domain for Squarespace.
Results:
Overall, I am so proud of my portfolio. In the beginning, I wanted no one to see it because I was embarrassed at the state it was in. Now I have it linked on my resume, LinkedIn, and email, and can’t wait for people to look at it. This assignment allowed me to take something that I did not like and turn it into one of my favorites.
