“The most powerful element of the course is the portfolio reviews, by watching the other reviews, they gave me ideas of how to try different things to improve my designs. My own review helped me realise that I am going in the right direction and it gave me the advise and confidence to keep designing.

With this module and the other three modules of the ABSPD that I have taken, I am looking forward to the next part of my design career”.

“The Ultimate Portfolio Builder is an inspirational feast where we are encouraged to try new product types, colours and subject matter. This alone would make it a wonderful experience in professional development but the inclusion of  professional reviews is what makes this course so special, the insights and advice will linger in my mind and help me in my future work”.
