• The Design: The design of a portfolio can make or break its effectiveness. Great design decisions really help to elevate the presentation of work.

• The Experimentation: Portfolio websites are the perfect creative playground and space to experiment. They present a clean slate for self-expression and a platform for unique concepts.
