Step-by-Step Guide

Define Your Brand Message

Write a one-sentence personal brand statement that captures what you do, who you help, and what makes you different.

Tip: Use this statement as your card subtitle for instant clarity

Choose Consistent Visual Elements

Select colors, fonts, and imagery that reflect your professional identity. Use these consistently across your card, LinkedIn, and website.

Tip: Consistent visuals across platforms build recognition and trust over time

Add Portfolio and Achievement Links

Include links to your best work, press mentions, speaking engagements, or case studies directly on your card.

Tip: Curate three to five of your strongest pieces rather than linking to everything

Include a Professional Bio

Write a brief bio on your card that tells your professional story in a few engaging sentences.

Tip: Write in first person for a warmer, more approachable tone

Share Strategically and Gather Feedback

Share your card with trusted colleagues and ask for honest feedback on the impression it creates.

Tip: Iterate on your design based on feedback before sharing it widely at events
