Portfolio Design Sprint: Two Focused Work Sessions

Working on your portfolio solo? Join other designers for two dedicated work sessions where you'll build, get feedback, and make real progress.

This is structured co-working with peer feedback—not a lecture or tutorial. We'll spend most of the time heads-down working on our own portfolios, with breaks for group critiques and discussion.

Disclaimer: Application is required and a number of applicants will be selected to take part in this event. Fill out this form to be considered:
