I am a Design Director and for the last 20 years I have worked at a digital product design & development company. I create digital products like apps and websites for fortune 500 & 100 companies and reviewing portfolios and hiring designers is part of my job!
Because of this, giving critical feedback on portfolios and portfolio presentations is a passion of mine because I want every designer to get promoted, get paid more, and do better work for their clients.
