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 If your portfolio feels scattered, outdated, or not quite convincing enough, this session gives you practical feedback on how to strengthen it.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 reviewed a considerable amount of portfolios as a creative director and hiring decision-maker over thirty years in the industry — AAA, mobile, MMO, and indie. I know what studios are actually looking for and I'll give you honest, specific feedback, not generic advice.

First, Kevin has demonstrated a very high level of professionalism in both game design and game development. His advice is practical, well-structured, and clearly based on extensive industry experience. Second, what impresses us most is his mentoring style. Rather than giving Julian the answers, Kevin consistently asks thoughtful questions that encourage him to think critically, explain his reasoning, and make his own design decisions. This has helped Julian develop confidence and think more like a game designer rather than simply following instructions. Third, Kevin is always exceptionally well prepared. Before each session, he creates clear and well-organized materials that guide the discussion. After each meeting, he provides detailed notes, summarizes the key decisions, and assigns focused, achievable tasks for the next session. He also gives professional feedback on Julian's work, highlighting both the strengths of his ideas and the areas worth exploring further. Overall, Kevin has created a very structured and supportive learning environment. Julian genuinely enjoys the sessions, stays motivated between meetings, and has already shown noticeable growth in his game design thinking. We are very pleased with the progress so far and look forward to continuing working with Kevin. One additional strength I'd like to mention is Kevin's excellent sense of scope management. He consistently helps Julian focus on building one small, playable piece at a time instead of trying to design the entire game at once. This has been extremely valuable in keeping the project realistic and maintaining Julian's motivation.”
