Include designs where you put your own spin
on an existing brand with no constraints
This is a great way to boost your portfolio if

your experience and showcase your skills

BECOME THE

STORYTELLER

People love stories. We become attached to


a piece of work when we understand how it
came about, what your approach was and the
if the final outcome met expectations.

Crafting each section into a story will make


your portfolio stand out and emotionally
draw in the hiring manager.
