Page flow

A clear path through the product story

A typographic introduction makes the designer's point of view immediate. Selected projects then move horizontally through distinct case-study entry points, followed by working principles, short notes and a deliberately simple contact path.

What it communicates

Why this structure works

The portfolio puts judgement and interaction thinking ahead of decoration. It communicates a clear specialism, gives each project room to stand apart and makes it easy for a potential client or employer to continue the conversation.

How to adapt it

Make it about your business

  1. Rewrite the typographic hero as one sentence about the kind of design work you do and who you do it for.
  2. Replace the fictional case studies in the horizontal gallery with three to five of your own projects, each with a clear problem, your role and the result.
  3. Change the design principles and writing notes to your own, or remove the notes section if you do not write.
  4. Update the availability section to say whether you are open to freelance work, a full-time role or neither.

What to bring

Prepare these before you build

  • Project images or recordings, with client permission or confidential details removed
  • For each project: the problem, your specific role, the team and what changed
  • A short statement of your specialism and the work you want more of
  • Links to any writing, talks or side projects you want to feature
  • Your preferred contact method and current availability

The template sets the visual direction. Your own business details, brand, images and proof supply the content.

Product Designer Portfolio template questions

What should a product designer portfolio include?

Reviewers look for how you reached a design as well as the finished screens. Show a small number of projects, each with the problem, your role, the constraints and what changed as a result. Add a short statement of your specialism and an easy way to contact you. This template gives each project its own card in a horizontal gallery, followed by principles and a simple contact path.

How many projects should I put in a design portfolio?

Three to five strong projects is usually enough. Hiring managers and clients tend to skim, so a few detailed case studies give a clearer picture of your judgement than many thumbnails. The horizontal gallery in this template works best with that range. If you have fewer than three client projects, add a self-initiated project and label it as one.

Can I use this portfolio template as a developer or illustrator?

Yes, if your work benefits from being shown project by project. Developers can use the case-study cards for technical builds and link to repositories or live demos; illustrators can lean on larger images and shorter descriptions. Rewrite the typographic introduction and design principles in your own voice so the page reflects your practice rather than the sample designer's.
