Accurate Profile Information

Misrepresentation of work, experience, or equipment may lead to suspension or removal from the platform.

Portfolio Authenticity

All work displayed in your portfolio must be work that you have personally created or significantly contributed to.

You should clearly indicate when:

• Work was created as part of a team
