Design Portfolio Review with Stephen Aase
Join us for our first live portfolio review with seasoned design leader Stephen Aase.
🚀 We are kicking off our new monthly Portfolio Review series! We'll dive deep into pre-selected portfolios, breaking down both strengths and opportunities for improvement. This isn't just critique—it's a masterclass in personal positioning and portfolio strategy that you can apply to your own work right away.
We're looking for portfolio volunteers! 🙋♀️
Would you like to receive live feedback on your portfolio? We will be selecting a handful of portfolios to showcase during the session. Our goal is to curate a wide variety of portfolios for the group so we will not be able to review all portfolios. If yours is chosen, we'll be sure to drop you a note ahead of time!
Volunteer with your portfolio link by Friday 7/11 when you register for the event.
Stephen Aase has dedicated the last 12+ years of his career to hiring, leading and mentoring designers of all levels. As a leader in design systems and strategy, he's guided multidisciplinary teams through major transformations—from spearheading the launch of Walmart+ to building the design system that now powers experiences across Walmart, Sam's Club, and international markets. His insights into what hiring managers look for are invaluable for designers who want to stand out in 2025.
