Let’s start with the basics of your Medium profile.
Go into settings>account.
Add your email address of choice.
Choose a good username. Pick something simple and easy to remember. Please don’t add numbers or underlines. At best it’s the same name as your profile name.

Bio
Your bio should be simple and informative. Add your interests, your job, or your goals.
For your profile design, you can simply play with the header and blogroll.
