design portfolios

Work sample compilations

Design portfolios are curated collections of a designer's work, assembled to demonstrate skills, style, and range to potential employers or clients.

The portfolio showcases completed projects—graphic design, web design, architecture, fashion—with context about the designer's role and process.

Her portfolio landed her the job.

Portfolios may be physical books, PDFs, or dedicated websites.
