Transcript

How to build an online portfolio for free? The first step is choosing a platform. Whether it's on Behance or on Dribbble or both, sign up with your Gmail and you're in. And now it's time to show your best work. And my advice to beginner designers, check other profiles and learn from them. Like, what cover image do they use? What different projects do they include? How do they write their brief description? Which takes us to point three. Every work you upload, you need to explain your project, your role, the process, and the outcome. And don't forget to leave your contact info in case any potential clients or future jobs want to contact you.
