Your portfolio should include an About/bio page. You can reuse, revisit, revise the one you wrote for your This is How I Work blog post, or you can write a new one. You want to be aware of your ethos here–how you convey yourself to your audience. If your website design is all dark and stormy, and your about/bio blurb is all cotton candy and rainbows, your audience will be confused.
Your about page can contain more information about the portfolio as well. What are you attempting to show, how the user can navigate the site, and other supporting details. You can create a Home page that does that to, and save the About/bio page just for your bio. That’s up to you.
Here are a variety of samples:
- Annie Halseth writes in third-person, and includes her This is How I Work
- Lisa Truong has a short bio/intro on her portfolio home page and uses her This is Who I Am for her About Me page.
- Nathaniel Milliken writes his bio in third-person and includes it as his home page.
- Sam Merrill and Hannah Burbach introduce themselves and their portfolios in a personal, first-person way on the home page with no additional about me page.
