Finally... My Website
Hi, my name is Kofi - and I have been procrastinating building my personal website for ages. I have wanted to write stuff for a while as well, my thoughts, my learnings, my portfolio... just a catalougue of things I find cool.
As a weekend project I finally decided to just get it done! So here it is.
My "Stack"
Some cool tools I used in the process of creating the site - you'll wanna check these out:
- Calendly (for bookings)
- Adobe Xd (I use this for so much more than experience design nowadays)
- Webflow
- Screenspace
- Envato Elements
- Storychief
- Unsplash
- Netflix (Everybody needs a break sometimes)
- Photoshop
The Concept
Kofi Okyere Brand Concept
Definition: A surface decoration made by inlaying small pieces of variously colored material to form pictures or patterns
Full disclosure... it didn't start this way but here's my concept for the brand - A mosaic (But without the stones)! Thing is, I owe my family members a website each, so the concept must be scalable and as far as possible I should be able to re-use elements accross the board.
So the sun is the main element and the remainder of the mosaic can be personalised to include each individuals favourite things. I actually snuck a husky into mine.
I ❤ Huskies
What's Left
Well now I can just get to writing! #NoExcuses - Storychief integrates nicely with Webflow, Wordpress and all my social media so posting isn't an excuse either.
Version 2.0 of the site will add:
- Animations - motion is important
- A portfolio
- Case studies
- Quotable quotes
Really looking forward to the next few weeks :)
Lets do coffee sometime
