For designers

Expert portfolio review for a career boost at the moment you need it.

What is a portfolio review?

As a designer or design leader applying for a new role, you’ll inevitably be asked to present your portfolio as a part of the interview process. A portfolio review can help you prepare and deliver your presentation with confidence. 

Good Maven’s design coaches and recruiters have reviewed hundreds (or thousands) of candidates’ presentations, and can provide expert guidance on topics ranging from narrative, project selection, slide design, and more. 

In this 60 minute session, your coach will review your portfolio or interview presentation deck and offer supporting critique in a live session. You're welcome to bring your work in any form of readiness. The session will start with a grounding in your goals, for example what roles and companies you're targeting. You'll present your work for 25 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of feedback and Q&A from your coach. This session may be recorded and provided to you.

Our portfolio reviews are tailored for designers at any career stage, from entry-level to executive leadership. Your portfolio or presentation deck might be based on your degree work, graduate portfolio or client work.

Testimonials

  • "Munjeet's perspective as an industry designer who has hired many designers was invaluable. He helped me craft a portfolio presentation that articulated my authentic design approach in a way that resonates with hiring teams."
    - Alex Carcoana

  • Meg made this iteration of portfolio work a rather informative learning (and dare I say even fulfilling and enjoyable? 😄) experience. Having seen a Rolodex of design portfolios over a tenured career, she was able to quickly highlight spikes and differentiating areas of my skillset, ultimately bringing awareness over assets to leverage as I build out my own career.
