How to craft a design portfolio that makes them say “you’re hired”

When I first started my creative career a ‘design portfolio’ meant lugging around a massive A1 folder or sketchbooks overflowing with tangible ideas. Since then my portfolio has had so many different iterations as I’ve adapted to changing client needs & advances in technology. That isn’t to say a physical portfolio isn’t still important, but the emphasis these days is much more on the digital side of things.

From all my years teaching & in my 1:1 coaching, questions about how to craft the perfect portfolio to catch the attention of clients have been numerous.

I don’t believe in perfect. I do believe I can help you attract the work you deserve.

This is why I created How To Build A Digital Design Portfolio That Gets You Hired.
