Build a portfolio before your first paid client.
A portfolio can demonstrate how you approach a problem even before you have a paid client. Clearly identify self-initiated work as sample projects.
Choose a realistic brief
Create a small project with an intended audience and a specific goal. Explain the decisions behind the result.
Show the process
Include the brief, a few work samples, and what you would improve. Never invent clients, testimonials or performance results.
