The changing nature of portfolios

Students in landscape architecture, environmental planning and environmental geomatics have all asked me recently about whether and how they should develop a portfolio. Fortunately, the Medium has posted a thoughtful essay by Rachel Berger on The Death of the Design Portfolio. To me, the take home message is that while the design portfolio is changing, you need to find the right way to share (let's be honest, to show off) your work such that it highlights your abilities but also says something about who you are. There isn't a single answer for all of these students, or even for all of the students of each career path.
