These templates started while I was building my own portfolio.

What began as a school project quickly turned into late nights, portfolio reviews, design seminars, and an arguably unreasonable amount of time spent refining layouts, typography, and presentation details.

What made the process a little different for me was perspective. Before returning to design school, I spent nearly two decades in professional roles where presentations, resumes, and first impressions mattered. I’ve reviewed work, hired people, pitched ideas, and learned that great work doesn’t always get the presentation it deserves.

Somewhere along the way, I realized I was creating the portfolio and résumé system I wished I’d had from the beginning.

Thoughtful. Refined. Easy to use. The kind of framework that gives your work room to breathe.

Whether you’re applying for your first internship, refining an existing portfolio, or preparing for whatever comes next, I hope these templates help you present your work with confidence and clarity.

Because the work is the interesting part.

Everything else is just framing.
