About this FieldTrip

So you’ve got an amazing online portfolio. You don’t really have much text because after all: the works speaks for itself. Right? Well, maybe not.

People (your potential clients) like learning about the stories behind the work, about your thought process and about you. Your About page is one of your most visited pages on your website. Take advantage of this opportunity to make a human connection to add an increased value to your work.

Perfect for students, freelancers, and established professionals.

⭐️ This FieldTrip is part of our Level Up Series with Adobe!

Agenda

  • By the end of this class, you should have an outline of what will go into your about page. We’ll take what makes a great about page and look at some samples.

  • We’ll also review the elements of a captivating about page and see how you can use them: the Big Hello, Heart Grab, Problem, Solution, Bio, Personal Touch, and Call-to-action

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
