To create an online portfolio that lets you to share your photos in a simple, beautiful, and socially connected way.

Portfelo™ is an online portfolio for creative talent in the photo industry. We've built our idea around giving and receiving credit for photos you've helped to create. Each photo has a network of its own--from photographers, models, stylists, technicians, and more. Our goal is to create exposure for these freelancers and foster collaboration among the photography community.

Our business plan and proof of concept won first place of the Butterworth Product Development Competition at UC Irvine and we're aiming to take Portfelo™ to private beta and beyond.

Portfelo™ was founded by Ferdinand Lucero, a UC Irvine Alumnus ('12) with a BS in Informatics and a Minor in Management. Our Board of Directors consists of Tony Crisp (CEO of CRISP Brand Agency), David Ochi (Alpha Sprouts, Tech Coast Venture Network), and Aron Spencer (InVenture). Our Technology Lead, Rolan Liwanag, is an IT professional with over 10 years of experience in software development.

We work where the inspiration is.
