Portfolios

Work & Project Portfolio

Showcase your achievements of non-confidential work samples and projects to potential employers. Portfolios tell stories, allowing you to go deeper than a resume can. Your portfolio might contain your best CAD drawings, simulation videos, photos, and test result analysis graphics from hands-on design/build projects, and other demonstrated skills in action. Your portfolio may also contain your resume, certifications, achievements and awards. It might stand alone or be part of your LinkedIn profile, GitHub, or web page.

For graphic design students, please ask your instructors for industry-specific guidance. There is a high bar for showcasing your portfolio on the most recent industry standard platforms.

Career Aspirations Portfolio

Geared toward personal reflection, rather than toward industry, it may be shared with advisors and your support team. Organize your career and personal goals, self-assessments, articles as well as project samples.

With ASU’s Digication, share all or portions of your e-portfolio.
