We Know Your Pain

There is nothing quite as agonizing as trying to present your work.

If you’ve ever broken out in a cold sweat when someone asks, “Do you have a portfolio?”

Well, you’re our people. And we feel you.

Hot Take

Putting together your own portfolio sucks.

The moment you sit down to draw up your portfolio, it’s as though every bright idea, every cool and clever thing you’ve ever done as a creative just…evaporates. And all that stands before you is a heaping pile of 💩.

That’s the burden of being a professional ~~perfectionist~~ creative. You sit down to collect your beautiful work. Head over to Google to start the search for inspira—BAMM! You’re not even present anymore, and your brain floods with anxiety, self-doubt, and hopelessness over how what lies on your hard drive is nothing like these glossy pages. And all your best, most relevant work is in progress.

Is This You?

Perfectionists don't post portfolios.

They sit on them.

It’s near impossible not to be precious about your portfolio. Your team put blood, sweat, and tears into it. (We know how that is, been there, done that—made the t-shirts, too.)

You Can't Be Everything to Everyone

If there is anything worse than gaslighting, it is gaslighting yourself.

The design industry has gaslit all creatives into thinking, “I must become a swiss army knife.”

You don’t like it when leads dive into your inbox and assume you can be it all: designer, developer, strategist, copywriter, etc.

So, why are you doing it to yourself?

Each role has a distinct set of skills, expertise, and nuance. Trying to take every role on by yourself or stretching your team thin getting your “on-the-business-work” done by your in-house team is making things bleeeeeeeeeeeh. [our brains died here *insert tombstone*]

Better Portfolio = Better Clients

You’re spending valuable time focusing on the client who pays the bills.

We get it. We’ve done it. It’s important.

The clients you’re serving now are great, but they’re not ideal. You’re doing good work but are too busy serving the “okay clients” to go after dream clients.

But you won’t land your dream client when you’re showing off three-year-old case studies you threw together in a rush.

Outsource that shit

Outsourcing: the secret weapon every creative craves.

You can’t stop doing great work for your clients. In addition to being bad business, it just feels icky. So we would never suggest cutting corners with clients to get your own work done. You need to outsource that shit.

Outsourcing is that secret weapon we know exists and can’t wait to use. Sometimes you need to get out of your head to get out of your way. By outsourcing the creation of your portfolio, you’re allowing yourself the time and space to focus on building your business and making connections. You’re allowing your team the time and space to focus on delivering stellar results to your clients, creating more satisfaction and better work to showcase. (Win-win-winning!)
