How Do I Make a Portfolio?
Assembling a portfolio can be challenging—we can help!
One of the best things you can do to build a top-tier portfolio is to attend a National Portfolio Day event or schedule a one-on-one portfolio review through the school. You’ll get great feedback from our faculty, learn how best to improve your portfolio, and we’ll get to know you and your work! See where we’ll be coming that’s near you:
