BWN: Positioning and Portfolio
Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 126[GREETING GOES HERE] What's Going OnMy own websiteI made my portfolio finally lol. It's not really targeted for work, but the structure resonated with me. It's kind of like a landing page for my life. I thought it cute to have all of the "chapters" have their own theme and stuff. So the all the colors and fonts change on click. I spent a good amount of time writing out each of the learnings MudboardI think the launch went as well as I could have hoped for, and I'm pretty happy about it! I have more clarity now. Right now my differentiation is that the UX is nice, and that board creation and organizing is good. That's already solid. But I think the best direction to head in is having reusable and sharable sections. So instead of sharing the whole board, you share just the section. And then you can reuse sections in your own boards. Then this evolves to being a platform with baked in network effects. Not just simply being a personal tool, and that has a way better shot. What I've been thinking aboutThis is a new journey I'm going on! Hope that it works out, but even if not I already am learning a ton. Goal right now is to apply for this thing in September which aligns with my goals Thank you!Next Newsletter June 25th! Shop | Previous posts | Main website |

Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 151 [GREETING GOES HERE] What's Going On Short Story Comic I tried to step out of my comfort zone with this comic. Both by making it as concise as possible, but also by using a tone and setting I'm not used to. It's a growing experience. Er...fair warning that it's kind of violent lol I'm really excited about what I'm working on next (i.e. right now).

Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 150! [GREETING GOES HERE] What's Going On National Park Redos I redid the national park posters. Kind of for the kick of it Here's what the old ones looked like (like 3 years ago?): If you want one, I set up the online store again, but honestly it'll be cheaper for both of us if you just email me. Also if you already bought the older versions, I can simply send one (if I haven't already)...but uh they're 2 inches shorter than the old ones haha. It's cheaper...
