Your Portfolio is Your Golden Ticket, But is it Getting You in the Door?Here’s the deal: your portfolio isn’t just a collection of pretty pictures, it’s your ticket to landing dream projects, scoring top clients, and making a name for yourself in the creative world. But if it’s not getting recruiters to call, clients to say “yes,” or opportunities to roll in, then it’s not doing its job.As an architect and creative director, I’ve hired and mentored designers, strategists, and visionaries while managing some of the world’s biggest brands at a global marketing agency. And let me tell you—most portfolios miss the mark. They focus on the wrong things, bury the good stuff, and, worst of all, fail to tell the story that actually sells you.I created this course because I’ve seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t when it comes to getting hired, getting clients, and standing out in a competitive industry.In this course, I’ll show you:Why a stunning portfolio isn’t enough and what actually gets you noticed.The most common mistakes creatives make (and how to fix them).How to craft a compelling narrative that positions you as a must-hire.What recruiters, clients, and creative directors REALLY want to see.How to design a portfolio that makes people say, “We NEED to work with this person!”Software & ToolsA computer (Mac or PC) with internet accessWeb browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Safari recommended)Portfolio platform account (choose at least one):Wix, Squarespace, Adobe Portfolio, or Webflow (free trials or free plans available)Design software (optional but recommended):Canva, Adobe XD, PowerPoint, Figma, or Photoshop for designing layout and imagesMaterials to PrepareYour bio or artist/designer statementAt least 3–5 finished projects or samples of your work (images, PDFs, or videos)Any relevant certifications, resume, or awards you’d like to highlightA professional headshot or photo (optional, but ideal for the About section)Mindset & ExpectationsBe ready to reflect: You’ll define your goals and target audience early in the courseCuriosity + consistency: We’ll walk step-by-step, so no experience needed, just commitmentOpenness to feedback: You’ll be encouraged to self-critique and iterate your portfolio for best resultsForget the tired, cookie-cutter advice you’ve heard before.
