Whether you’re already working in mobile app development or branching out into the sector from another creative profession, there’s never been a better time to start looking for new opportunities in the sector. Demand for developers is growing all the time, and having an impressive portfolio can be the key to attracting the best and most exciting jobs.
For mobile app developers, a portfolio is even more crucial than in other creative professions. Modern development portfolios are usually assembled as a personal website. This means that many of the skills you use in putting your portfolio together are also part of your daily app development work, and a poorly designed site is likely to put potential clients off regardless of the quality of your other featured projects.
So how can mobile app development MA students ensure that their portfolio catches the eye? Read on to find out.
1. Choose the Right Platform & Style to Showcase Your Mobile Application Development Skills
Some developers assemble their portfolios using publishing platforms with pre-designed templates, such as Squarespace, while others prefer to build their own site from scratch in order to showcase their abilities in even more detail. The tone and style of portfolios also vary, with some professionals favouring a formal, understated approach, while others adopt a more casual, friendly tone.

2. Use Your App Development Degree Projects to Build Your Portfolio
If you’re coming to app development from another creative profession, or have not been employed in the industry very long, you may feel that your current body of work is not impressive enough to really attract the best opportunities.
Fortunately, your masters degree in mobile application development provides plenty of opportunities to change that, as you complete a number of professional standard individual and collaborative projects over the course your studies.
3. Feature Your App Development Degree and Other Education Prominently
While your portfolio should showcase practical examples of your work, it’s also important to include more practical details you would find on an ordinary CV, such as your previous employment experience and contact information. Even more importantly, highlighting your training and education will be crucial to securing clients.
