The link in bio built for designers

For designers the best link in bio is one that looks designed before anyone reads a word. Folio is a bento grid for your case studies, Dribbble, Behance and Figma, with your payment details behind a password for the client who said yes. It's free, live in about ten minutes and Folio never touches your money.

Your bio link is a portfolio, not a list.

A generic list of buttons undersells the craft. A client who opens your link judges your taste from the page before they ever reach the work, and a template that looks like every influencer's link works against you. Designers need the page to look designed, and they need somewhere to put the work that wins the job, not just the links to it. The first impression is the audition, and on Linktree you don't control it.

The blocks that matter for you.

Put your best case studies first, at sizes you choose, so the strongest work is the biggest thing on the page. Link Dribbble, Behance and Figma and each tile picks up the platform's look instead of collapsing into a grey button. Add an "available for work" note, a contact block and a Pay-Me block for the deposit. The page reads like something you designed, because it is.

What to put in your link in bio as a designer

1. 1

   Two or three case studies

   The projects you'd show in a first call. Lead with outcomes in the titles, not just pretty frames.

2. 2

   Dribbble, Behance and Figma

   One tap from your page to the platforms where the rest of the work lives. Each link keeps its brand colour, so the row reads as a design decision.

3. 3

   An availability note

   "Booking for October" answers the question every client is silently asking and filters the tire-kickers.

4. 4

   A contact block

   Email beats DMs for project inquiries. It's where briefs and budgets actually get written down.

5. 5

   A Pay-Me block

   Your payment details behind a password, ready for the deposit conversation instead of scrambling when it comes.

Set it up in ten minutes

1. 1

   Claim your handle

   folio.link/your-name. Sign in with Google or a mail code, no password to invent.

2. 2

   Add your best work

   Case studies as image tiles, platforms as links. Big for the hero project, small for the rest.

3. 3

   Set up Pay-Me

   Add bank, Wise or PayPal details and pick a password. They're stored encrypted and shown to nobody until you share it.

4. 4

   Paste the link everywhere

   Instagram, X, LinkedIn, your email signature and the proposal template you send.

Bill the client without the awkward DM.

The moment a client says yes is exactly when pasting your IBAN into Slack feels wrong. With Pay-Me your details sit behind a password on the same page that won the job. Send the link with your proposal, share the password when the yes lands, and the client sees exactly how to pay you. No fee taken out, you keep 100%, and Folio never touches the money.
