Creative technologists sit between design and engineering, which makes the portfolio the hardest part to get right.
Show the thing working
A creative technologist portfolio should run, not just look. Embed the prototype, the installation, the interaction. A video is a fallback, never the default.
Explain the "how" briefly
Hiring managers want to know what you actually built versus what a team built. One line of honest attribution beats a wall of credentials.
Show the range
Include one piece that is pure craft, one that is pure engineering, and one that bridges them. That triangle is your value.
