Margaret Fletcher is an assistant professor of architecture in the College of Architecture, Design and Construction at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama, USA.

Constructing the Persuasive Portfolio provides a much-needed detailed focus to the art of designing a compelling and effective architectural portfolio. While no design process is truly linear, Fletcher's categorization of the complex architectural portfolio design process into achievable segments creates a straightforward and understandable step-by-step method.
