My new portfolio went LIVE last week. Excited to get this out into the world. Custom designed and built, working with my engineering partner.

When does a project stop serving your portfolio? 👀

I’m currently working on a new website.

My work, knowledge, and vision have evolved a lot since I built the current one. Honestly, I think I disliked it about a month after launching… but it still did its job. It helped me share my work and build a business.

Now I’m moving into a more intentional direction, and I’m rethinking what actually deserves a place in my portfolio.

I know this isn’t always a clear or easy decision. So I’m sharing a few thoughts I’ve been using to evaluate my own work.

Would really love your perspective on this.

How do you decide what stays and what goes?

I feel this a lot. For me, a project stops serving the portfolio when it no longer reflects how I think — not just how it looks. Sometimes it can still be “good work,” but if it doesn’t represent your current depth or standards, it starts creating the wrong expectations.
