THE EVENT:

The review is a chance for you to practice your interviewing skills and get valuable feedback from local professionals about your design work and résumé in a no-risk, non-competitive environment geared at preparing you for the professional portfolio presentation process.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND? 

You will receive objective advice and thoughtful one-on-one commentary and criticism of your design work from local design educators, professional designers, and potential employers. While this event is not a job fair, some reviewers may be looking for potential employees or interns. This event is a great way to discuss your work, network and become aware of who’s who in your local design community.
