Portfolio Teardown: Live Feedback
Friday, November 13 at 9:00 AM (Vancouver) · 60 min
MKHosted by Matt Karakilic
Director of User Experience @ Omnia Consulting Ltd.
Share your portfolio link when you sign up and I’ll pick three or four to review live, out loud, the way a hiring manager actually does — first impression, case study structure, what makes a reviewer stop reading before they get to your process. I ran this exact session last round and the response went well past what I expected — people left with specific, actionable fixes instead of vague “it’s good” feedback. This matters because most designers never get this kind of unfiltered, hiring-manager-level review before they apply — they’re guessing at what’s wrong, and a portfolio that quietly loses interviews can go unnoticed for months. Even if yours isn’t picked this time, you’ll leave knowing exactly what to fix, because you watched real reviews happen in real time, not generic advice.
Mentors and mentees are both welcome. It's a mentor session, just with company.
No AI notetakers, please. Read AI, Otter, Fireflies, Fathom and similar record everyone and email the whole room afterwards. If yours auto-joins from your calendar, turn it off for this session.
