1. Skills & Tools: We’ll identify the key design skills and software you should focus on (Adobe, Figma, etc.), and how to learn them efficiently.
2. Portfolio Building: Tips on creating a portfolio that showcases your best work; even if you’re just starting, we’ll talk about personal projects or mock-ups you can create to demonstrate your talent.
3. Networking & Community: How to connect with other designers and mentors, both online and offline. I’ll point you to communities, events, and platforms where opportunities often arise.
