Design Office Hours with Peter Boeckel

Episode 15 - Q&A Work Done But No Assets?

04 Dec 2025

Description

In this episode of Design Office Hours, I respond to a question that comes up more often than you'd think: "How do I show released work in my portfolio if I don't have any assets from the project?" There are many reasons this might happen—NDAs, unreleased products, or simply not having access to the final materials. It can be especially frustrating if it was your best or most recent work. In this episode, I cover: – What to consider when leaving a job without approved portfolio assets – How to reflect your role without overstepping confidentiality – What matters more than showing the final result – Why conversations with former teammates (or managers) can make a difference – When passion projects or personal studies can fill the gap – And how to stay honest, clear, and strategic in how you tell your story If you're navigating this challenge, you're not alone. This episode offers practical ways to approach it—and a few things to consider as you prepare for your next move.   Got a question or a topic for a future episode?
