Theme of the day is clean and simple. Joel Califa’s portfolio site out of Brooklyn is exactly that. Love two main things: 1 – The “text-heavy portfolio” are really more than just “I did that” – there’s a ton of detail on HOW he did everything, completely referenced. Always good to see someone’s process – to learn from it, or to hire it. The portfolio posts are written like his blog posts, which probably helped in getting his new-er job at DigitalOcean. 2 – I like Joel’s head hiding on the blog – simple, but kind of funny.
