What should be in your portfolio?
Think of a portfolio as a 5-minute pitch about yourself, except you are not there to (re)present yourself, so the most important things have to be obvious at a glance.

Tell us who you are, and what motivated you to apply. We want to get to know you!
Tie everything together
Connect your projects in a single PDF file. Show us your information hierarchy skills!
Showcase your best work
You’re encouraged to include between 2-5 projects. Keep it brief and to the point.
Inform in the description
The problem you tackled, your role in the project and how you approached the solution.
