How to choose the right projects for your portfolio
Here’s 3 golden rules I like to use:
1/ Various selection of projects:
🔸 Platform-based variety:
Showcase projects across different platforms (web, mobile apps, VR,… ).
This demonstrates your adaptability to various mediums.
🔸 Industry-based variety:
Include projects from different industries (e.g. healthcare, media, blockchain, e-commerce).
This shows your ability to work across different contexts and tackle various challenges.
2/ Your best work
Which projects that you’re extremely proud of?
Emphasise the process behind the project: how you approached challenges, your design thinking, and the impact your work had.
3/ Projects that would align with the type of company you are apply for
🔸 Consumer-facing companies:
Showcase projects focused on user-centered design, usability, and interfaces aimed at broad audiences (e.g. consumer SaaS).
🔸 B2B companies:
Highlight work involving complex systems, data-driven design, and tools for business users (e.g., analytics platforms). Tailor your portfolio to reflect the company's product or service needs.
4/ Bonus Rule—At Least 3 Projects
Include a minimum of three projects to give a well-rounded view of your skills and experience.
