If you have been putting up creating a portfolio, take this as your sign. Tier are six easy steps that you should follow to get started. Step one is to look for inspiration. So way before opening Figma or in design, I recommend studying between five to 10 portfolios. You should be taking note on the structure, flow, and how they talk about their work. This will help you understand what you like and what you might be able to do better. Step two is compiling work that shows your rank. Be super selective tier. So pick between four to six projects that reflect what it is you wanna be hired for. I highly recommend including a personal project or two. These are often a much stronger representation of you because they haven't been watered down. Step three is to show your unique way of thinking or how you approach a problem. Whilst a pretty portfolio is great, people often neglect the copy. So you should explain the problem, your approach, and the result. Adding two to three lines of context makes you way more credible. Step four is choosing a format. So this could be a PDF, a website, or even a No. Pick one that is easiest for you to maintain. Step five is asking for feedback. Specifically. Is anything unclear? Does anything feel weak? And would you hire me from this? Step six is to send it out and tailor the message to the person you're sending it to. A personalized message goes a very, very long way. Remember, your portfolio is a living document and should be a reflection of you and your work.
