A portfolio that gets you hired, not just looked at
Buyers do not read skill lists. They read problem, process, outcome. Here is how to write all three.
Every portfolio piece on this platform has three fields for a reason. A screenshot proves you can produce a picture. Problem, process and outcome prove you can produce a result.
Problem
Say who needed something and why the old situation was not working. Two sentences. Never start with the tool you used.
Process
Show the decisions, not the steps. What did you try, what did you throw away, what constraint shaped the final result?
Outcome
Be specific and honest. A number is better than an adjective, and "the client shipped it and still uses it" beats "the client was happy".
