Ask How do you build a portfolio when all the work you have done is under someone else's name?

[Edward22]

Many beginners start by working for others or helping on projects where their name is not shown, and this makes it hard to prove their skills later. A portfolio is important because it shows what you can do, but in this case, there is nothing to display publicly. What are some good ways to build a strong portfolio in such situations? Can you recreate similar work, ask for permission, or find another approach to show your ability?
