146 Why Your Portfolio Isn't Landing You Clients (And What Will)


Listen Later

Most designers think their portfolio is all about showcasing stunning visuals, but that’s not what lands you clients. Your potential clients aren’t designers - they care about how your work solves their business problems. In this episode of The Profitable Graphic Designer, I’ll show you how to turn your portfolio into a client-magnet by focusing on strategy, results, and the stories behind your designs.

You will learn:

  • Why showcasing results, not just visuals, is the key to converting leads.
  • The three-part structure every case study in your portfolio should follow.
  • The biggest mistakes designers make in their portfolios (and how to fix them).
  • Actionable steps to rewrite your portfolio today to attract high-paying clients.
  • Grab a cup of coffee, your notes, and get ready to redefine how you run your design business!
