3. Include your resume to show the full scope of your professional experience. Here is where you show all your skills and qualifications, show clients you’ve worked with in the past, and your interests. Make the resume downloadable. 
4. Make navigating your portfolio easy by creating categories and dividing your work into sections. A well organized portfolio makes it easy to evaluate your work and strengths you bring to the table. 
5. Tell a story through brief case studies of the projects you selected for your portfolio. For each project explain what the goals of the clients were and step by step approach you took to complete each project. Don’t leave out the challenges that came up and how you solved them. If you worked with a team, be sure to show what your role was. 
6. Simplicity keeps the clients eye focused on the content of your portfolio. Leave out all the flashy stuff that only serve to distract. 
7. Remember your portfolio is the place where you show creativity through your unique style. It is where you want to standout from all the generic portfolios that are online.
