Howdy, I'm Devin, the creative
director from bumble dot delivery and
0:09
IBM's project white space.
0:13
And I'll be guiding you on
what it means to build and
0:15
maintain a portfolio of your work.
0:19
We'll dig into different types of
portfolios, while establishing the best
0:22
ways for you to show your work,
personality, and interests.
0:26
After all,
you're likely showing off your work for
0:31
potential employers, or
to develop new relationships in business.

To do all of this, though, we'll need
to first define the word portfolio.
0:40
We'll define portfolio as
a collection of design and
0:45
development outputs that showcase
the skills and personality of the creator.
0:50
It's worth noting that even though the
main idea behind creating a portfolio is
0:56
relatively simple, the actual
practice of putting it together and
1:01
maintaining it requires skill and
patience.
1:05
You'll need to consider a number of
factors when building your collection
1:10
of work, like the voice of your personal
narrative and describing your effort.
1:13
What not to include in your portfolio.
1:18
And how to navigate showing work
co-created alongside others.
1:21
We have a fun course ahead of us.
1:27
So let's get started.
