Critical Reflection
The intended audience for my ePortfolio includes professors, potential employers, internship recruiters, and collaborators in media and communications. I designed this portfolio to function as both a professional showcase and a reflection of my creative identity.
I selected work that best represents my strengths in storytelling, research, and multimedia production. The featured articles from my work with the Florida State University College of Arts and Sciences highlight my journalistic skills, particularly my ability to humanize institutional stories through interviews and narrative structure. I also included videography, photography, and social media projects to demonstrate my range across visual and written mediums.
The design direction prioritizes clarity and professionalism. I used clean layout, neutral color palette, and minimalistic font. The sidebar reinforces my identity and ensures continuity throughout the site.
Initially, I started this assignment as a place to present my projects. However, building the ePortfolio required critical decision-making about authorship, audience, and self-representation. Rather than presenting everything I have created, I curated work that aligns with my long-term goals in media production, storytelling, and representation.
