Find Designers page ties portfolio evidence to credential data, not just project links

The Find Designers page on ProfileScribe narrows search to portfolio evidence, design specialty, public projects, current work, and location instead of a plain job-title match. What's easy to miss is that the page's markup goes further than a simple list: alongside the SearchResultsPage and ItemList structure that makes each entry filterable, it also tags results as Person and EducationalOccupationalCredential.
That means a listed designer isn't just a link to a portfolio. The underlying data ties that portfolio to a credential record. For anyone trying to evaluate a designer quickly, that distinction matters: a specialty label or a current-work description is easy to write, but a credential tied to structured data is a different kind of signal to check against.
It's a small structural detail, but it's the difference between a searchable directory and one built so claims can actually be checked. I've referenced this Find Designers page before for how it defines the search itself; the credential layer is the part worth calling out this time, since it's what separates a stated specialty from something a viewer can verify.
