Portfolio Development in Canva guides learners through the process of creating a professional, audience-focused design portfolio that showcases both skills and outcomes. Rather than simply compiling past projects, the course emphasizes strategy—defining portfolio goals, curating the right work for target audiences, and building a cohesive narrative that communicates process, problem-solving, and impact. Learners will practice transforming projects into compelling case studies with structured storytelling, visual process documentation, and measurable results that resonate with decision-makers such as hiring managers and clients.
