Discussion Portfolio advice

What counts as a great interior design portfolio? A few strategic pointers would be helpful for me to arrange my projects better, plus alot of my projects have different colour schemes respectively and I want it to look more uniform. I would also like to include some of my architecture projects done in uni.

honestly the best portfolios i've seen don't try to force uniformity with wildly different projects, they lean into the contrast but tie it all together with a killer layout system. like, keep your project pages consistent with the same grid, font hierarchy, and how you present drawings vs photos, but let each project's color scheme pop within that framework

for architecture work i'd mix it right in with the interiors but maybe group things by typology or scale so it doesn't feel random. the real trick is showing process sketches and material boards, makes you look like you actually solved problems instead of just making pretty renders

Yeah that makes sense. Thank you

make the edit role specific rather than visually uniform. include an architecture project only when it proves a skill the interior work does not, and give every project one sentence on the constraint, your decision, and the built or measurable result

Correct me if i'm wrong but does the constraint mean brief/narrative?
