I Heart CarbonMade

It’s been far too long since I decided I was going to write this post. If you’re looking for a quick, easy way to set up an online portfolio, I highly recommend CarbonMade. Creating a nice, clean portfolio has always been a bit of a chafe for me. This Winter I was interviewing for jobs. I put together a pretty lame quick-n-dirty “portfolio” — which was just a blog post on Fixpert with links to images. Lame.

Then I heard about CarbonMade. I signed up for a free account, and within 30 minutes I had a nice clean portfolio with a friendly url to boot: http://fixpert.carbonmade.com. What’s amazing is my response rate from prospective employers went through the roof after showing them my CarbonMade portfolio. I immediately got a handful of interviews and several job offers.

Another bonus is the guys at CarbonMade are super cool. I emailed them and it turns out they are cyclists too (and they ride fixies)!! Big thumb’s up from me, go check it out.

    Hey, that looks pretty hot.

    Did you do a reskinning of Xaprb for fun or something?

    Yes indeed, I know Baron has been a busy man lately (I have been too — well, a busy lady) but it’s possible that redesign will go live at some point.
