Complete Your Profile

To update your profile:

1. Sign in to your CODAworx account.
2. Click your profile icon in the upper-right corner.
3. Select My Profile or open your account/profile settings.

Include the information that best represents you or your studio, including:

• Your name or company name

• Bio or description
• Website and other available contact information

A complete profile gives commissioners a clearer picture of who you are and makes your presence on CODAworx more useful.

Add Your Professional Details

Your Professional Details describe the type of work you do.

Choose the specialties, types of work, and areas of expertise that accurately represent your practice. These selections are important because commissioners can use them when searching the Creative Directory for artists and creative professionals.

Avoid selecting unrelated categories simply to appear in more searches. Accurate information helps connect you with opportunities that are actually relevant to your work. CODAworx specifically uses Professional Details to help surface members in relevant Creative Directory searches.

Add Your Location

Make sure your current location is included on your profile.

Commissioners can search for creative professionals by country, state, city, and geographic radius, which makes location especially important for commissions with regional eligibility requirements.

If your location changes, update it so commissioners can continue finding you for the right opportunities.

Build Your Portfolio

Your profile becomes much more useful when it includes examples of your work.

Published projects can:

• Showcase your experience to commissioners
• Appear in the CODAworx Project Library
• Help people discover your work through searches
• Be reused as work samples when you apply to eligible Open Calls

Projects are searchable separately from your Creative Directory profile, so both your profile information and project information matter.

For help adding work, see Create, Publish & Manage Your Projects.

Keep Your Profile Updated

Review your profile periodically, especially when you:

• Move to a new location
• Add a new specialty
• Change your website or contact information
• Complete a significant project
• Begin offering a new type of work

The more accurately your profile represents your current practice, the easier it is for commissioners to understand what you do and determine whether you may be a good fit.
