intro


receiving feedback on your portfolio can be very helpful! try asking people you think are honest with you. having access to professionals to give you feedback on your portfolio is a blessing. but before that, try asking your friends to take a look at it, you’d be surprised by their feedback and how useful it can get. once you're done with that process, take a look at our suggestions:

the “why”


sharing your work is more than just showcasing talents—it's about connection, growth, and impact. it's like hosting a creative party where feedback is the DJ, fine-tuning your moves and helping you create something unforgettable. embrace the opportunity to share your unique perspective and let your creativity shine!

1. validation and improvement

<aside> <img src="/icons/priority-high_gray.svg" alt="/icons/priority-high_gray.svg" width="40px" /> by sharing your work, you open yourself up to feedback from peers and mentors. this feedback serves as validation for your ideas and can highlight points that need improvement in your work. it helps you grow to be a bad-ass designer!

2. learning from others

<aside> <img src="/icons/friends_gray.svg" alt="/icons/friends_gray.svg" width="40px" /> sharing your work allows you to see how others approach similar challenges. by observing and engaging with the work of others, you can gain new perspectives, learn new techniques and improve your own skills.

3. building a network

<aside> <img src="/icons/network_gray.svg" alt="/icons/network_gray.svg" width="40px" /> while you are busy building a portfolio and sharing it on different platforms and communities, a network is being created in the background, by you! so it might just look like building and receiving feedback but you are actually doing a lot more than that! isn’t that fu*king amazing?
