Are you looking for a way to demonstrate your work and provide commentary for viewers to more easily make connections? A portfolio may provide the structure you need and is an opportunity to tell your story and show your work.
In our context, a portfolio means:
- Curated: selected work only demonstrates the highest quality and most relevant examples of your skills and style
- Annotated: commentary is added so viewers can make meaning more easily. Annotations highlight what you did (especially in a team effort), how you did it, and unique colleges or solutions
- Identified: connected to or includes career contact and biographical information.
Read on for advice, tools, and resources to develop your own portfolio.
