Adding NDA projects to your portfolio

First, you’ll need to ask for permission to share that piece of work.
Make sure to blur out any sensitive information that could identify the company.
Then, password-protect it if it helps your company feel more secure.
It’s perfectly reasonable to share the password with your employer—they may just want to verify that the NDA is still kept.

How to showcase NDA-protected design work

Most clients and employers understand that you need to show your work, so there’s often room to negotiate. Here are some compromises you could suggest:

1. Blur out sensitive info:

Publish the project but blur company logos, names, or any confidential details. It lets you show the design without giving away protected info.

2. Password protect it:

Place the project behind a password-protected page. You can share the password with specific people (like potential clients or employers) but keep it private otherwise.

3. Watermark or hide parts of the design:

If certain elements are sensitive, add a watermark or hide them. This way, you can still share your process without revealing anything confidential.
