Hey Carson, first of all, so excited about these upcoming improvements! As an artist on Thumbtack, of course my first thought is the visual first-impression that customers get from Pros' profiles. I think that the current photo display of work samples available to us is decent, but still, I always urge customers to check out my work on my portfolio site, not on my profile. To streamline this and provide better first impressions, I wonder if there's a way to borrow design elements from the likes of portfolio websites: bigger, higher-res images; not constraining images of different dimensions to all the same thumbnail size; or even (dreaming big here) allowing Pros to select from several visual templates so as to choose the best display for their particular set of work-sample images. While I mainly quote for Illustration and Embroidery projects, I think this could be beneficial for all industries. Wouldn't it be great if customers could get excited about the profiles of Thumbtack professionals, even if they're looking to hire a cleaner or a yoga instructor, the same way folks get sucked into a Pinterest board or a feed of inspiring images on Instagram? Cheers! Kit Collins
