Live Review: How to Style and Prepare Your Portfolio

Learn what goes into a great portfolio and hear senior designers conduct LIVE UX portfolio reviews. Your UX design portfolio introduces you as a designer, showcases your UX skills in action, and tells a compelling story that will engage future employers and clients.

This session will begin with an overview of how to put your portfolio together by Julia Masalska, Freelance Designer & Educator for Adobe. Following, we’ll have a review of three pre-submitted portfolios, created in Adobe XD, from San Diego designers - all reviewed live! All are welcome to attend, especially students and those just starting out in their career.

We will select three updated portfolios by San Diego-based designers done in Adobe XD. Those selected will receive a one-year Creative Cloud subscription. Submit your Adobe XD design portfolio by Thursday, September 9, at 11:59PM PST.
