Architectural portfolio template + Mini Guide

I remember how lost I felt when I had to make my portfolio. I didn’t know what to include, what to write, or how to make it stand out, and no one was really there to guide me. It took me so much time, trial and error, and second-guessing myself to finally figure it out, that’s exactly why I created this template so you don’t have to go through what I did.

You’ll get a fully editable InDesign layout, plus a detailed mini-guide that walks you through everything: how to choose your projects, how to tell your story, how to structure your pages, and even what to say when you send it out.

It’s made for students and recent grads who want to feel confident hitting “send.”
I made all the mistakes so you don’t have to.

Here’s what you’ll get in the full portfolio set:

An editable InDesign template
Designed to help you create a clean, professional layout with no graphic design experience needed. Just plug in your projects, adjust the colors and fonts if you want, and you’re ready to go. I even added some cute font combinations!
