Portfolio Review
By Saha | Sr.Product Designer, Zoho
Portfolio Review Event
Portfolio is Designer’s Index page, every project in a portfolio is a page to understand the person. So, we came up with a Portfolio Review event to help the designers/students where they can get their portfolio reviewed by an industrial expert and also get feedback and their idea behind the perfect portfolio.
Why Review Event?
Building a portfolio is a very important step in starting the designing career, since it is the sole reason for the recruiter or the client to hire you. A badly curated portfolio can pull you down from getting you new projects. And thus, we wanted to help the designers in understanding how to build a professional portfolio and in understanding the current industrial expectations.
Our Solution
We wanted to give confidence to the designers to face the industry with their portfolio. And hence, we thought getting the feedback directly from the industrial expert can make the designers feel confident and help them correct their portfolio according to industrial expectations. So we brought in Saha, Senior designer in ZOHO to help participants review their portfolio and give feedback on the same.
