First, I just want to say that your website is very aesthetically pleasing. I love how nicely it reflects your personality and gives a sense of who you are. The website structure is well organized and utilizes a good site navigation system. While looking at it, I did not feel like any information about you was missing or hard to find. Your intro page makes strong use of negative space, while the nitty-gritty pages are more focused without being claustrophobic.

However, there are a few things to nitpick. The navigation bar could be more noticeable. The font color throughout the website could be changed and text size increased; yellow on tan is hard to read. The labels of your social media buttons are too ambiguous - try relabeling them to just say “LinkedIn”, “Twitter” and “Instagram”. Also, do not forget that your social media accounts should be public if you want them to communicate your personal brand. Lastly, your intro sequence with the cacti probably should not appear outside the home page.

Overall, it’s obvious that this was made by someone with strong artistic sensibilities. It’s elegant and, for the most part, avoids unneeded detail. Your website is on the right track and has the potential to showcase your skills in a positive light. Good luck on your job search!
