- Find ways to highlight your creative and visionary skills
- Include conceptual work, sketches, research, and technical drawings along with finished work to help the viewer understand the full range of your skills
- Create it in an easy-to-manage size
- Keep it up to date
- Make it discoverable through host websites, and add it to your LinkedIn profile

Success factors:
- Highlight your best work! Do not include anything of low quality
- Showcase the kind of work you want to be known or hired for
- It’s not about the work you’ve done, it’s about how you present it
- Be sure to showcase the design process, not just final designs
- Provide a balance of both text and imagery
