A Personal Resume Site and Learning In Public Initiative

Summary

Mission

Kevin Washington is personal friend and business partner. He approached me for help on designing him a quick website to help him stand out in the job market. He also wanted to create a brand to showcase a personal initiative to learn new skills in public.

My Contributions

I developed some simple brands and built the sites in Webflow with his content expertise and vision. We were able to scale these up quickly

Impact

The primary metric for this was getting a job and a brand the client was satisfied with!

2

Kevin ended up getting 2 job offers; 1 a part-time contract and 1 a full-time gig


Site Process

Discovery & Structure

We started with a quick discovery sprint to align on Kevin’s goals: build a simple but impactful personal brand and stand out in a competitive job market. He also wanted a way to document his journey of learning in public. We drafted a lightweight sitemap and shipped an MVP-style homepage quickly to get him in the game.

Site design & Animation

The build was done in Webflow with reusability in mind, so Kevin could easily expand the site as his projects and skills evolved. We added a lightweight blog system for public learning notes, and used simple JS libraries for hover interactions and scroll effects. The final product was fast, mobile-friendly, and totally client-editable.
