Your profile page is a place to show off your skills and interests to get discovered by other members on the platform. In addition to uploading the basics like a profile photo, a bio, and headline, we encourage you to get creative and customize your profile with images, videos, personal projects, and more to demonstrate your unique style.

Below, find some ideas for what to share on your profile, whether you come from a Creative, Business, or Technology background. Of course, don’t feel limited to anything you see here - the Skillshare profile was designed to give you the flexibility to customize your profile in whatever way suits your style!
