Design Your Portfolio: Niche vs. Versatile

About this episode

Danielle and Eva discuss whether a portfolio should be niche or versatile, exploring the implications of each approach on personal branding and client relationships.

This week, Danielle and Eva tackle a question every creative runs into: Should your portfolio be super specific or should you show range? They unpack why “everything looks the same” could hurt you, even if the work is good, when a signature style does make sense, and how flexibility in tools, workflow and collaboration can be the thing that keeps you booked. They also get real about personal branding struggles, matching client energy in meetings and why being transparent about what you do and don’t offer builds trust fast.
