✧⋆ Week 5 – Isa ⋆✧

April 20, 2026 By Isa Melendez


🍓 Week 5: Training Progress 🍓

✧⋆ Portfolio Review ⋆✧

This week's STA meeting revolved around reviewing our portfolios! I didn't have one, so I worked on making a slide deck detailing one case study of mine.
Through this, I've learned the style I want to go for whenever it's time for me to make my portfolio! The little doodles are something I will want to keep. I was also advised by peers that the website Framer would work best for what I want to do given that it has to most customization.

My takeaways:
- A portfolio is the one place a creative gets to express themselves, so this is a great opportunity top be able to stand out!
- You have to tell a story with a portfolio, walk the user through your thinking process
- The hardest part for me is starting, there is perfection paralysis, but it's important to get over so you can start applying to internships and jobs
