How to Create Your Creative Profile on Naebula

A good profile does more than list your name. It gives other creatives enough context to decide if they should save you, message you, invite you to a project, or consider you for a casting call.

That means your profile should make five things easy to understand: your role, your location, your visual work, your collaboration preferences, and the kind of creative trust someone can expect when they start a conversation with you.

Your role shapes how people find you in Naebula directories and how they understand your place in a production. Choose the role that best describes the work you want to be discovered for when you create your profile.

Your collaboration preference helps people understand whether paid work, TFP or TFCD-style collaborations, or both are a good fit before they contact you. This is useful for models, photographers, make-up artists, stylists, hairdressers, videographers, producers, retouchers, and other creatives.

Clear preferences reduce mismatched expectations. They also help people decide whether to save your profile, invite you into a project, or start a more specific conversation.

Your location decides where your profile is shown to other users in discovery. Set the city or area where you want people to find you for normal collaboration searches.

Discoverability controls whether your profile appears in those public discovery surfaces.

If you want to be shown in another place temporarily, create a tour for the dates and location where you will be available.

Your profile photo helps recognition and trust. Use an image that makes it easy for people to understand who they are talking to before they message you or consider you for a project.

Your featured image is the first visual signal on your profile. Choose a clear, high-quality image that represents the kind of work you want people to remember you for. This is different from an about image, which can support the bio section on non-model profiles.

A catchphrase is short positioning: a quick line that gives your profile a point of view. It can describe your style, your role, or the kind of projects you are drawn to.

Your bio can be more practical. Mention what you create, what styles or projects interest you, where you usually work, and what kind of collaborations fit you.

For most visual creatives, portfolio images are the strongest proof of fit. Add work that shows your taste, range, and the kind of projects you want to attract. Quality matters more than filling every possible space. Gallery capacity depends on your account, with Pro profiles giving more room for larger portfolios.

Videographers can add portfolio video links from YouTube or Vimeo. Non-model profiles can also use an about image where it helps the profile feel more complete and specific.

Model profiles can include details that help photographers and casting organizers understand fit before starting a long message thread. That includes gender, height, bust/waist/hips, dress size, shoe, skin tone, and eye color.

Models can also add polaroids or digitals in a separate section. Keep these clear, recent, and simple. They should help someone understand your current look without heavy styling or editing.

Trust starts with clarity. People do not need every detail of your creative life, but they do need enough signals to understand whether the profile is active, intentional, and relevant to the collaboration they have in mind. Those same signals also shape how useful your profile feels when someone finds you through Find creatives.

Your first version does not need to be perfect. A profile should grow with your work. Revisit it after shoots, after stronger portfolio updates, or when your availability and collaboration goals change. If you are preparing to respond to public opportunities, the projects and wishes guide explains how profiles support applications, direct messages, and collaboration planning.

• Replace older portfolio images as your work becomes stronger.
• Add pricing cards if they are relevant to your work and available on your account.
• Make your bio more specific as you learn what kinds of projects you want.
• Keep location, availability, and collaboration preferences current.
