How to build a design portfolio that (actually) gets you hired

Your portfolio is your living showcase—treat it as a product in itself by using flexible tools like Framer and iterating as you grow. Experts Sarah Doody and Aneta Kmiecik recommend ditching rigid templates, weaving compelling stories that highlight your thinking (not just finished designs), and focusing on progress over perfection to stay memorable to hiring managers.

By owning your work, communicating the “why” behind every decision, and moving beyond static case studies, you’ll create a dynamic, strategic portfolio that evolves with your skills—and actually lands you interviews.
