How My Portfolio Became a Brand
Showing How I Write
I needed examples of my writing for my creative portfolio. The question was: what should I write about? I wanted to pin my abstract ideas to something solid and decided to create the Climb Mountains brand.
Developing a Niche
As a sport that rewards physical strain and mental dedication, cycling has been a source of personal inspiration. I wanted to develop the Climb Mountains brand as a platform to share inspirational cycling stories.
Combining It Into a Brand
Climb Mountains is one part blog and one part portfolio. As a blogfolio, you can find examples of my writing in the portfolio section and see my writing in action on the blog.
