A common question new designers ask Rebecca while she is mentoring them in My Design Mentor or Launch Your Business Bootcamp is how to build a design portfolio when you are just starting in the design world. The reason for having a portfolio is to showcase your design work in hopes of getting you a new design client or helping you get a job with a prospective employer. Because of this, you want to make sure you are proud of your portfolio!
This can be hard if you haven’t had many, or any, projects your dreams to showcase your design prowess. To help new designers on this journey, we created a download you can purchase on Etsy for just $10! It includes 6 chapters of information with all of our top tips for getting started.
