Portfolio Rodeo

The class of 2020 is facing an extremely uncertain job market. AIGA San Antonio wants to help by connecting emerging designers with local design leaders to give them a leg up in positioning themselves strongly in the search for a job. Let’s round up those portfolios for a virtual review on Saturday, June 6th, 2020 from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM

Review sessions are 25 minutes during which graduating students will be paired up with professionals to show and talk about their work and receive guidance. Our experienced reviewers will provide honest feedback on design work and suggestions to help sharpen portfolio presentations.
