education to industry
- its okay if you haven't found your passion yet. - don't pigeonhole yourself
- you don't have to be a designer (transferable skills)
- happiness is reality minus expectations
- get the basics right (job seeking) (cvs, cover letters, portfolio copy)
- your design work won't get you a job (employ based on personality, skills, interview impression and potential as employee) (punctuality, sell your work with passion, take criticism well)
- experience is everything (approach smaller agencies and companies)
- you're already a part of the design industry so act like it (confidence, professionalism, positivity) (go to events, network)

Portfolio 1:1 advice
Tom from Craft Agency was kind enough to do a 1:1 portfolio session with me. In it I talked through my website which is my existing portfolio and gave me advice on how to improve.
My portfolio is good in terms of showing versatility, I just need to refine what I am showing in order to target branding and packaging studios. I could also include any examples of animation as that is a good skill to have in my portfolio. The goal I need to reach is to elongate each project, and show the development I have for it, and include multiple outputs. This echoes the advice I got from Alec in the website crit I had. This skill can be transferred over to creating a pdf portfolio - showing 2 projects in detail through development stages (building a case study) and then including other projects at the end of the portfolio.
This talk was really helpful to me and inspired me to push myself further and dedicate some time to refining and improving the projects I already have.
