About this session
A strong portfolio can open doors, but only if it clearly shows what you can do and why it matters. This MentorCruise session is designed to help you improve how your work is presented, whether you are applying for jobs, pitching clients, or building credibility in your field. If your portfolio feels scattered, outdated, or not quite convincing enough, this session gives you practical feedback on how to strengthen it.
You’ll work with an experienced mentor to review your portfolio through the eyes of a hiring manager, client, or industry peer. Together, you can assess the quality of your project selection, case studies, storytelling, structure, and presentation, and identify what is missing or not landing. The goal is to leave with clearer direction on how to make your portfolio more focused, more compelling, and more effective at creating opportunities.
Your mentor
In this booking, we'll begin by looking at an already created and live portfolio. If the portfolio is not yet live, screenshots will be requested in advance.
Session Steps include:
1) Discussion - Portfolio Goals
2) Feedback -What is working/not working
3) Advice - Next Steps to fulfill portfolio goals
*This session is ideally booked in two parts.
1) Goals, initial feedback, update portfolio for next session
2) Were the goals met? How does the updated site look?
3) Final feedback and takeaways
As a Senior Creative Designer and Director, I have almost two decades of expertise in creating eye-catching portfolio experiences and viewing and offering guidance on roughly 420 websites over 20 years.
