You're probably right

If you don't want to hear anymore about the Portfolio Workshop starting next week, I get it...

BUT...

...if you're still reading, you may have a portfolio situation going on.

You're probably thinking you can figure this out yourself.

You're right. You can.

You're a designer. You're smart. You've learned harder things than "how to make a portfolio."

So here's the real question:

If you can figure it out yourself... why haven't you?

How long have you been "working on" your portfolio? Six months? A year? Longer?

The problem isn't information. There's plenty of free advice out there.

The problem is execution.

You know what you need to do. You just haven't done it. And every month that passes is another month stuck with the same portfolio, same doubts, same "I should really fix this" feeling.

Here's what changes that:

→ A deadline that means something. Session 1 is Tuesday, February 3. That's real.

→ Structure that forces decisions. Not "explore your options." Decide. Move forward.

→ External eyes. Hiring managers telling you what actually works. Not guessing, but knowing.

Proof it's possible: Hiring Managers telling you EXACTLY what they look for and Designers who've secured top jobs share EXACTLY how they did it

You can figure it out yourself. The question is whether you will.
