Setting up your portfolio

Your portfolio is the thing managers and bookers actually search. You build it in the Studio: choose Portfolio in the header, or go to /creatives/portfolio/. Everything else on your side of the platform works better once it is filled in.

Finding your way in the Studio

The dock at the bottom has four tabs: Edit, Share, Preview, and Analytics. The gear at the top opens Settings, and Dashboard takes you back to your Dashboard. When you are happy with the page, Share your page takes you to your link and sharing options. Each section opens and closes from its title, and the Edit page always starts with every section closed, so you pick the one you want to work on.

Start from your CV

The AI Assistant at the top can read a CV or other material and fill in your portfolio: PDF, Word (.docx), text, an image, or a website. New entries are added, and nothing is overwritten without your OK. Choosing a file does not start the import yet: once its name shows in the box, press Import (the button lights up until you do). Reading takes a couple of minutes and uses pens, shown before it runs. Older Word files (.doc) need to be saved as .docx or PDF first.

Once your page has the basics (a work entry, your bio and a profile photo), a Check-up appears next to Import: a booking-readiness score with one concrete fix per section. Until then the AI Assistant offers Import only and lists what is still missing.

What to fill in first

• Profession — what you do, in the words someone would search for. "Front of house engineer" finds you; "sound person" does not.
• Experience level — this filters you into and out of searches, so be accurate rather than modest or inflated.
• Location — and whether you travel. A great deal of searching is geographic.
• Bio — a few sentences on what you do and what you are good for. Concrete beats poetic.
• Work samples — the strongest thing first. Most people look at one item before deciding.

Work entries

On an entry, Save & back keeps you on the page if something is missing, then returns you to the Studio. Preview saves first and brings you back to the same scroll position.

• Links — add up to ten per entry with + Add link. YouTube and Vimeo show a picture we store ourselves and play after someone taps; their browser can remember that choice. Other links stay as links.
• Images — drag to reorder. The first image is the preview: it becomes the entry's background and thumbnail. Make preview moves another image to the front.
• Artistic nudity — a small toggle next to the upload area. Flagged work is blurred on your page until a viewer taps to see it. They do not need an account. Previews, thumbnails and share cards stay blurred.
• Text — the entry description keeps your paragraph breaks on the public page.

Order and visibility of sections

Drag sections, or use the arrows, to reorder them. Your public page follows the same order. Hide or show sections on the Share page.

Every discipline belongs here

Musicians, bands, DJs, singers, composers, actors, dancers, acrobats, comedians, photographers, videographers, models, stylists, make-up artists, set designers, lighting and sound engineers, editors — all first-class.

Your portfolio powers the AI features

Your Job Finder search profile can be built from your portfolio, and the Job Ticker matches against it. If your profession or experience is vague or wrong, their results will be too — so fix the portfolio before blaming the finder, then rebuild your search profile.

Uploads

Full-resolution uploads are plan-controlled; lower plans upload at a capped resolution. See /billing/creative-pricing/.

Keep it current

Revisit it after every significant job. A portfolio that stopped a year ago reads as someone who stopped working.
