Visual Resume

I have to admit, I’ve never been crazy about the idea of visualizing my resume. I’m not sure how well it would be received, and I worry that I’ll add extra stuff that doesn't need to be there, or create chart versions of information that might not interest the recipient, or could possibly confuse them. 

So I experimented with a visual that focuses primarily on one aspect of my professional experience: how my career started as hard skill focused, and has transitioned to requiring more soft skills, like stronger management and communication skills. 

I looked at it more as a design exercise, aiming to make something that draws the viewer in and serves as a conversation starter, vs. a full-on resume that contains all required information.
