Project Four: Development of Portfolio Website

Project Type: HTML & CSS coding/p>

Project Active From: February 2026 to May 2026

Location: George Mason University, Web Authoring and Design course (Spring 2026)

The creation of this portfolio website was a process in and of itself, occurring over the process of several months. Development was informed by the Five Planes from Elements of User Experience - Strategy, Scope, Structure, Skeleton, and Surface - as well as accessibility guidelines and design principles such as color symbolism, contrast, and font legibility. Below are some of the drawings that I made to help me visualize the website as it came along:

A hand-drawn wireframe displaying the three core pages on this website, as well as plans for the secondary pages (and potential additional pages)

A hand-drawn wireframe displaying how the Home Page was intended to be designed. Elements are organized with accessiblity and legibility in mind.

A hand-drawn wireframe displaying how the Resume Page was intended to be designed. Elements are organized with accessiblity and legibility in mind. Note the addition of the PDF button near the top.
