Episode 3 - Q&A Some things for your portfolio part 2

In this episode of Design Office Hours, I'm continuing the conversation on building a strong design portfolio — adding more ideas to the original question: What are the main things to focus on when putting together a portfolio? If you missed the first part, check the show notes for a link to Episode 1. Here's what I cover today: Why you should customize your portfolio for each opportunity (and how to do it without starting from scratch) How prototyping — even rough, low-fidelity work — builds credibility and shows how you think How to showcase your role in team projects and why collaboration skills matter as much as design skills Why being honest about your contribution in a team setting makes you stand out Whether you're in school, applying for internships, or building your early design career, these are the kinds of details that hiring managers notice — and remember.
