Include breakdowns, wireframes, and WIP shots. Studios want to see how you think and work.

🎯

Match the Studio Style

Tailor your portfolio to the studios you're applying to. Stylized studio? Show stylized work.

🔄

Keep It Updated

Remove old work that no longer represents your skill level. Your portfolio should evolve.
