Hey Shannon,
It is very slick! Love the blue header - blue always makes things look so much more professional. And I agree with Hawk that image with the pretty whiteboard thing is really working for you.
There are a few things that did stand out to me.
I am UX-er but please feel free to ignore me - I have as habit of being brutally honest but please understand I only want to help you
The first thing I saw was āhire meā and I though 'ooh where will that take me?! ā so I clicked it and it scrolled really fast all the way down to the fat footer. It wasnāt easy to look at and made my eyes spin and definitely wasnāt what I was expecting. I was expecting it to lead to contact details just minus the visual rollercoaster
Whenever I see this āThanks for visiting my online portfolioā, I find it as annoying as āWelcome to the intranet!ā. Itās just derr-factor and noisy. I think there are better ways to communicate what it is Iām looking at and I think you do that very well without reminding people they are online.
I clicked on the hamburger and the scrolling thing happened again - I donāt see how the hamburger adds value on the desktop version. Is it just there for mobile? Iām on my laptop. You already know what I think of the scrolling.
Ok now some good news - I really like it how youāve put your accomplishments first. Thatās really important information and youāve surfaced it well.
The heading āUX portfolioā confuses me - I thought the whole site was the portfolio?
Why do I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see the ācareer snapshotā? It looks like you couldnāt find a home for it and buried it at the bottom.
This is nice āIf you are searching for an enthusiastic and passionate UX practitioner, letās chat. Iām seeking to join a product-driven UX team in Melbourne.ā I would move it up to next to your presenting photo.
I hope this is helpful and not too brutal! Iām lucky enough to work in a very flat and safe environment where I can say what I think (and be told what others think) and the design is better for it.
