How to Prepare
To get the most from your review session:

- Portfolio pieces should be organized in a single digital portfolio presentation, not as individual project files
- Print and branding designers should present a professional portfolio in spread format, similar to what you would bring to an interview
- Website portfolios are welcome for web designers, UX/UI designers, game designers, digital artists, animators, and other digital-focused disciplines
- Dress as you would for a professional interview
- Be prepared to briefly introduce yourself and discuss the type of opportunities you're pursuing
- Present your portfolio as if you were speaking to a hiring manager, client, or creative director
- Be ready to explain your design decisions, including concept development, audience considerations, typography, color, layout, and problem-solving process

Practice before it counts.
The Mock Interview is designed to help design students, recent graduates, and early-career creatives prepare for real-world interviews with confidence.
This one-on-one session simulates a professional design interview and provides personalized feedback on your portfolio presentation, communication skills, interview responses, and overall readiness.
Before your session, you'll complete a brief preparation questionnaire covering your background, career goals, portfolio experience, strengths, challenges, and the types of positions you're pursuing. This allows me to tailor the interview experience to your specific goals and provide more relevant feedback.
During the interview, we'll discuss your experience, review your portfolio, and work through industry-related interview questions similar to those you may encounter when applying for internships, junior designer positions, agency roles, in-house creative teams, and other design opportunities.
After the interview, you'll receive honest, actionable feedback and recommendations designed to help you improve your confidence, strengthen your presentation skills, and better prepare for future opportunities.
What's included
- One-on-one mock interview session
- Pre-interview preparation questionnaire
- Portfolio presentation feedback
- Industry-related interview questions
