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 If your portfolio feels scattered, outdated, or not quite convincing enough, this session gives you practical feedback on how to strengthen it.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
I've interviewed hundreds of designers and reviewed countless portfolios while building teams at Canva, Grab, and more. I've hired everyone from senior designers to interns, so I know exactly what makes portfolios stand out to hiring managers, especially in the tech world.
I usually do these when you're actively applying or prepping for interviews, with follow-ups over 3-6 months to see how your updated portfolio performs in real applications.
