Level 01: Keep your portfolio alive

Your portfolio is never done so keep iterating.

• Update content as your skills evolve

• Keep it ready even if you’re not job hunting

• Use any format you find quick (I love Framer)

Level 02: Focus on content first

Visuals won’t sell your work alone, but your story does.

• Use short, clear stories instead of long reports

• Highlight design decisions, trade-offs and impact

• Add personality to make your portfolio memorable

Level 03: Design it like a UX project

Design your portfolio for your “users”, hiring managers.

• Plan navigation and information architecture carefully

Show your value, not just your work.

• Focus on how your work impacts users and business

• Tailor content for specific audiences

• Highlight stories that show your skills
