Guides & writing templates to clearly communicate your concepts, process, and skills like a design professional

The difference between a bad portfolio and a good one is clarity.

Your portfolio isn’t just a collection of projects, it's how hiring teams decide whether you’re worth interviewing.

Writing about your work is one of the hardest parts of updating your portfolio, but it doesn't have to be.

Once you understand who your audience is (hint: hiring teams) and what they want to know (we break this down in the guide) then writing about your work becomes simpler, and your portfolio becomes much more effective.

This guide shows you exactly what to do to make your portfolio work for you. You already have the skills. You just need to communicate them the right way.
