Hi, I’m currently in the process of putting together the first course which will be a series of courses that will guide you from novice to industry designer.
Course 1.
Building Your First Design Portfolio
Turn your creativity into something you can show the world.
Your portfolio is your most powerful tool as a designer — it’s how you show who you are, what you can do, and how you think.
But when you’re just starting out, it can feel overwhelming.
What should you include? How polished does it need to be? How do you stand out with little experience?
This course is here to help you build a strong, confident portfolio — step by step.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of this course, you’ll know how to:
✅ Understand what makes a great beginner portfolio
✅ Choose the right projects to include (even if you haven’t studied yet)
✅ Build creative briefs and personal projects that show your thinking
✅ Present your work clearly and professionally
✅ Design your portfolio layout — digital or printed
✅ Add context and storytelling to make your projects come alive
✅ Get feedback and improve your presentation skills
Who It’s For
This course is perfect if you’re:
- Just starting your design journey
- Thinking about studying graphic design at college or university
- Self-taught and want to take your work to the next level
- Unsure what to include (or leave out) of your portfolio
No experience needed — just creativity, curiosity, and a willingness to learn.
How It Works
The course is built around short, practical lessons and simple exercises to help you make real progress.
By the end, you’ll have a portfolio that shows who you are as a potential designer entering college or university or as a educated designer wanting to enter the industry — and the confidence to share it proudly.
Watch this space.
