Download the free worksheet and start building your portfolio today.

No client projects? No problem. This free worksheet walks you through a simulated client intake process to help you build a realistic, portfolio-worthy project from scratch. You'll define the business problem, identify your audience, write measurable performance outcomes, and map out a design strategy — just like you would on a real project. By the time you finish, you'll have a complete project brief ready to build from. No experience required. No permission needed. Just a realistic scenario and your design thinking.
