I could use some brutally honest feedback. Redoing my portfolio site has been a to-do item for wayyyy too long. I'll start to sketch out a new idea every few years, but can never get it off the ground. Here's my site

Admittedly, not much there since I'm not sure how to show current work when it's more collaborative. I do email development mostly but I don't design the visuals for the emails (that's another team entirely) and I'm not coding them from scratch either (we had a template system, that I helped within the initial build/concept).

I also do front-end development but don't have many projects to showcase that. I did recently complete a Mobile Web Specialist Nanodegree and I have a project from that, I just need to figure out how to showcase it.

Here's the skeleton of the last site redesign of mine that I was actually happy with (8 years ago now!)

I ❤️ the colors you use so much! So bold and fun. I may put Twitter/LinkedIn/GH icons up top with your intro instead of in the footer, especially since you have such a great presence on Twitter! I also would sticky the footer so it's at the bottom of the page, and increase the background image size instead of repeating so that the fold isn't there. Your blog looks excellent too!

Thank you! I've implemented some of the changes you've suggested :)
