Start with projects you can safely share

Start with a small set of projects you are allowed to publish. Your goal is not to document every device but to help a future client understand your role, the space and the finished experience.

Build your portfolio step by step

1. Select permitted installations

Choose three to five completed jobs that represent your current services. Obtain consent from property owners and any collaborators whose work is shown.

2. Define the story for each project

Write down the space, the client brief, your scope and the visible result. Distinguish design and programming from work completed by other trades.

3. Prepare safe, clear photographs

Include a room overview, one or two useful detail views and a finished lighting or shading scene. Remove personal information from displays.

4. Group images into projects

Keep photographs from the same installation together. Use descriptive project names such as 'Apartment lighting scenes' rather than customer addresses.

5. Add concise context

Explain the problem and your contribution in plain English. Avoid performance claims or system integrations that you cannot substantiate.

6. Publish and review the link

Build a visual portfolio in Portfolio Store, choose an available design, check the mobile presentation and share the link in proposals or client conversations.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need professional photography to start?

Not necessarily. Clear, consented photographs with consistent framing can be enough to demonstrate a completed installation.

Can I use one project to start?

Yes. A carefully explained installation is more useful than an empty gallery, and you can add projects as they are completed.

Can I publish a portfolio from my phone?

Portfolio Store supports creating and updating a visual portfolio from mobile or web.

Does a portfolio replace a technical handover document?

No. Keep system credentials, schematics and private documentation in secure client handover channels.

Do I need to buy a domain to share my portfolio?

No. A hosted portfolio link is enough to begin; custom domains are optional on eligible paid plans.

Should I publish customer addresses?

No. Use general project descriptions and obtain permission for any identifiable property images.

Make each installation understandable

Publishing is the final step of a careful documentation process. Choose projects you can show, verify that each photograph is safe to publish, and make the visual story useful to a prospective client. Review the public link on a small screen before sharing it.

A project well documented today becomes a stronger introduction tomorrow.

Make your completed work easy to share

Organize your authorized installation photographs into projects and share one professional portfolio link.
