I wanted to feature some form of interactive element on my portfolio to engage anyone viewing it. I started with the buttons you see above and continue below--my education and work/ volunteer experience will change upon a mouse interaction or space bar click.

​

Concept

I pondered and continue to think of creative ways to engage someone new to my portfolio. What I came up with were ideas that emphasized engaging the viewer; to me, it seemed both concepts were universal or easily recognizable within diverse audiences. From my perspective, everyone has had a lunch they brought from home and a trash can full of scrapped ideas. Thus these designs were created to represent my experiences.

​

How it Works

I used Canva and Wix embed to feature an interactive design/ animation; switching between various slides then returning to the first image once the boarder was left/ no longer interacting with the viewer.

​​

Goal

The goal is to engage the viewer and encourage them to explore my portfolio; looking for new interactive elements. As my skills advance, I would like to add sounds and other creative components to this portfolio. For accommodations and ease of use, each design is linked: highlighting the full design slide-by-slide, legible writing, and concept.
