You’ve done all the hard work, years of perfecting your craft, dealing with painful clients. So make your profile look awesome, so you get more cool work and get to work with cool clients.
Here are some quick tips to help you create an epic profile.
1. Category & Skills
Choose the category that best represents what you actually want to be hired for. Most creatives can do a bit of everything, but this is your chance to lead with your strongest skillset. Same goes for your listed skills - pick the ones you’re genuinely great at and want to keep doing more of. That’s how the right clients will find you.
2. Description / Bio
This is your chance to introduce yourself - who you are, what you do, and why you do it. Keep it personal, write it in first person, and let your personality come through. What kind of projects fire you up? What’s your style? What makes you great at what you do? We love working with good humans, so let people know why they’ll enjoy working with you.
3. Clients You've Worked With
Mention a few clients you’ve worked with so people can get a sense of your experience and style. They don’t have to be big names - even listing industries you enjoy working in (like hospitality, events, wellness, etc.) helps paint the picture. The goal here is to give potential clients a feel for your work and who you work well with.
4. Gallery
Curate your strongest work. Stick to the style, industry or vibe that best represents you and the kind of work you want more of. It’s tempting to showcase everything you can do, but focusing your gallery helps clients connect faster. You can always update it as you go, so keep it fresh and relevant to where you’re heading.
Also, the first image of your gallery will also be displayed on the directory carousel card. So choose your favorite image to be first!
5. Video
If you’re a videographer, animator or content creator, having a video is a great way to showcase your work. A short reel, a highlight project, or a quick montage works well. If video isn’t your thing, feel free to skip this section.
6. Recent Projects
Add a few recent projects that showcase what you do. Include the project name, what services you provided (like photography, brand identity, web design), and a link to the work - whether that’s on your website, Instagram, Behance, or anywhere else. It’s a quick way for potential clients to dive deeper into your work.
