Portfolio

A curated collection of your work that demonstrates your skills to potential employers or clients.

A portfolio shows rather than tells — a designer's projects, a writer's published pieces, a developer's shipped apps or open-source code. For many remote and creative roles it matters more than a CV, because it is direct proof of what you can do.

Keep it focused on your best, most relevant work, and explain your role and the outcome for each piece. A strong online portfolio is often what turns a cold remote application into an interview.
