Building Your Portfolio Site with Squarespace & Josh McKenna
We talked to Josh McKenna about color, e-commerce, and managing all those big names on his roster.
The following post is brought to you by Squarespace. Our partners are hand picked by the Design Milk team because they represent the best in design.
2017 was a big year for Josh McKenna. His commissions from Google and Instagram led to a flurry of press including a profile in Vogue. Not bad for someone who’s only few years out of design school. From the looks of his work, this East London-based illustrator and designer is inspired by all things tropical. His recognizable ’80s-flair illustrations have garnered him a loyal client base that includes Converse, Monocle and Condé Nast.
Rewind to 2016, when with a growing portfolio, Josh needed a professional looking site to showcase his work. He launched his portfolio on Squarespace just shortly before 2017, his most successful career year to date (Coincidence" Squarespace says they’ll take it.) Josh let us pull back the curtain on how he managed to go from University student to high-profile designer in just a few short years. We talked to Josh about color, e-commerce and managing all those big names on his roster. The Wexley template
Tip #1: The work should be front and center.
People have short attention spans and no one is coming to your site to hunt for your work, so keep your best work, easy to find.
What template did you use and did you experiment with others"
