• In today’s digital world, your portfolio is more than a collection of work — it’s your personal brand, your first impression, and often your key to new opportunities. Whether you’re studying design, IT, business, or any creative field, knowing how to present your work professionally can make all the difference.

• That’s exactly what this upcoming hands-on workshop is all about.

  Led by Rebecca, Tamaya, and Felipe, you’ll move through a structured, hands-on experience where you’ll learn how to create and improve your portfolio using industry-standard platforms like Behance, Canva, GitHub, and Netronin.
