Designing a new portfolio is easy. Committing your
time and following through with that original
concept, that's the tricky part.

I first started working on a new draft of my portfolio in 2011. I haven't been
working on this update for two years, but I have been coming back to it ever few
months. It's undergone countless iterations.

Not that I'm complaining. It practically became a hobby of mine to tinker with a
new portfolio. In a way I'm a little sad that the sketching / prototyping / designing /
coding elements of the portfolio are ultimately finished, but I'm excited to add some
flourishes in the coming weeks and months (I've been toying with snap svg which
I'm looking forward to integrating).

In the next few weeks I'm also going to write about the decisions I made while
building out this site - inspiration, evolution, content management, execution.
Hopefully it may be of some use to those starting out with building their first
portfolio - maybe help shave a year or two off it here and there!
