…together we decided that his expert skills would best be put to use creating and executing a portfolio workshop for his fellow interior design classmates. We wanted the workshop to not just be a review of work, but focus on how to create a visually stunning portfolio using graphics. John took our ideas and created a fantastic 3-hour workshop. He prepared a terrific slide presentation explaining key points of how to achieve a great portfolio with simple graphics. He brought in examples of good portfolios and explained the key elements. He also brought in relevant books and made recommendations on further readings. In the end, he gave time to individual students to review their portfolios and providing feedback. … I heard that it was one of the most valuable resources that the ASID offered the whole year. … We planned on making John's portfolio workshop a regular occurrence on the ASID agenda and look forward to more collaboration with him.
