Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or someone new to service design, a question that you will expect to hear at some point in time will be "Can we see your portfolio?".
In this course, you will learn about what a good portfolio looks like and understand why it is good. You will work through a framework to design a portfolio that reflects not only the work you have done (in the past) but you as a person and where you want to be in the future.
You'll hear from other seasoned professionals and talent managers in this course.
In this course, we will use the online tools Zoom and Miro extensively. To make sure you feel comfortable with these tools, we invite you to a free 20 minute online play-date in our dedicated online sandbox. Come play with us 20 minutes before the start of the course.

"Thank you for having me in the Building your Design Portfolio, Gerry! Since then I have used the lessons from your class to help me in my quest for my next role. The process of detailing my career values and pulling a portfolio together gave me so much more confidence in my design story and helped me to remove emotion from my decision to accept the new job. Not to mention, as the class was held remotely online, I was able to connect with the global design community which was fantastic! I would recommend this class to any junior to mid-weight designers looking to build their confidence and learn new ways to tell their story.

I know we've discussed that on chatting away and but find out really really really special actually when you kind of sit back and look at where you've come from... I really enjoyed it.
