In this course, you will learn about what a good portfolio looks like and understand why it is good. You will work through a framework to design a portfolio that reflects not only the work you have done (in the past) but you as a person and where you want to be in the future.
You'll hear from other seasoned professionals and talent managers in this course.

Who is this course for?
This course has been created for anyone interested in creating a portfolio that will set them apart. We don't teach visual design skills in this course. We guide you through the process of getting closer to who you are and what you do.
Is this course only for people workingin the worlds of UX and Service Design?
Not at all. Gerry believes that this course is suitable for anyone looking to create a portfolio to reflect their body of work and also who they are as practitioners.
Will I need a computer?
For the optimal experience, it's best you have access to a working computer so you can engage with the live and interactive workshop. A high-internet speed connection + webcam are the two suggested items to get the most out of the course.
