Elegant Portfolio Design Needed

I’m ready to turn years of work in Project Management, Interior Design, and Fit-Out into a premium, print-ready portfolio and need a graphic designer who can give it an elegant, truly sophisticated look. The document must feel high-end yet modern, guiding the reader seamlessly through my professional experience while making a strong visual impact.

Style & tone
– Think refined typography, a balanced cream-through-charcoal palette (or a palette you propose in the same vein), and plenty of white space. Subtle custom icons, tasteful infographics, and well-placed imagery should elevate the content without overpowering it.

Core content
The spotlight is on my professional experience. I have project summaries, metrics, and photos ready; your role is to arrange them into a compelling narrative flow that recruiters and potential employers can skim and instantly understand.

What I need from you
• A polished layout for every page, consistent headers, footers, and visual cues
• Custom graphics where data or timelines benefit from visualisation
• Careful hierarchy of text so key achievements pop at first glance
• Colour, type, and spacing choices that read as premium on both screen and print

Deliverables
• Print-ready PDF (A4, CMYK, 300 dpi)
• Layered source files (InDesign or Illustrator preferred)
• Style guide summarising fonts, colours, and icon treatments

Please include links to past work that proves you can execute this level of elegant, sophisticated design. If you have experience producing portfolios for creative or construction-related fields, mention that—it will stand out. I’m looking to award quickly and move straight into content hand-off, so feel free to suggest a concise timeline alongside your samples.
