Curate and present a design portfolio strategically
Designer background: [describe your experience, specialisation, and career stage]
Target opportunities: [jobs, freelance clients, or both — describe the work you want]
Work you have: [describe your strongest pieces]
Current portfolio problem: [too much, too little, wrong projects, bad presentation, etc.]
Create a portfolio curation strategy:
1. How many pieces to include and which types to prioritise
2. Selection criteria: how to decide which work to keep, cut, or redo
3. Case study structure: what to show and explain for each piece
4. The order to present work: what goes first and why
5. How to present work you cannot fully show (NDA, unbuilt, team projects)
6. Writing style for captions and case studies
7. The one piece to lead with and why
8. What hiring managers or clients look for that most portfolios do not deliver
