                      And I'll be guiding you on
what it means to build and

                      maintain a portfolio of your work.

                      We'll dig into different types of
portfolios, while establishing the best

                      ways for you to show your work,
personality, and interests.

                      After all,
you're likely showing off your work for

                      potential employers, or
to develop new relationships in business.

                      To do all of this, though, we'll need
to first define the word portfolio.
                      0:40
                    
                    
                      We'll define portfolio as
a collection of design and
                      0:45
                    
                    
                      development outputs that showcase
the skills and personality of the creator.

                      It's worth noting that even though the
main idea behind creating a portfolio is

                      relatively simple, the actual
practice of putting it together and

                      maintaining it requires skill and
patience.

                      You'll need to consider a number of
factors when building your collection
                      1:10
                    
                    
                      of work, like the voice of your personal
narrative and describing your effort.
                      1:13
                    
                    
                      What not to include in your portfolio.

                      And how to navigate showing work
co-created alongside others.
