professional portfolio

Work samples collection

A professional portfolio is a curated collection of work samples demonstrating someone's skills, accomplishments, and experience.

Artists, designers, writers, and photographers traditionally compile portfolios to show prospective clients or employers.

The term now extends to any field where showing past work matters: She built an impressive professional portfolio during her internship.

Digital portfolios—websites or online galleries—have largely replaced physical binders and folders.
