Finally, my new portfolio is complete! I’ve gone with a very simplified, to-the-point portfolio that showcases all my work and essential information in a single page. I’ve stuck with the wood background and tree motif to complement this blog, but made them less cutesy and more professional. I’ve also decided to really focus on what I do best - web design and front-end development - rather than clutter it with work that I can do but aren’t really my focus or area of expertise. Major thanks to Paul of Monk Media for letting me use all the work I’ve been doing lately in my portfolio!

Although it doesn’t look like it, it’s actually made with Wordpress. While Wordpress might not seem like an ideal choice for a brochure-style website, based on the facts that I wanted something easy to update, that listed thumbnails on the main page and had room to link to a more detailed description (if I ever get around to writing them), and I’ve been doing a lot of Wordpress templates lately. The result is a streamlined update process that I should hopefully be able to keep on top of. Would anyone be interested in reading about how to modify a Wordpress template to suit a portfolio like this? I’m thinking of putting up a quick tutorial and template download.

Also, big news - I’m moving to Canberra at the end of the year with my boyfriend who has a graduate position there. Currently I’m looking for some work there, so if you know of any web design positions available please let me know or chuck in a good word for me :)
