POV: Creative Workshop
& Portfolio Review
A creative development workshop and portfolio review
The Malin DC
Doors open at 11:00. Session begins promptly at noon.
Saturday, October 3 • 11:00–3:00 PM
POV is a creative development workshop and portfolio review centered on how ideas, perspective, and practice evolve over time. Guided sessions with design and agency leaders, alongside accomplished practitioners from across DC’s creative community, invite participants to look more closely at how they articulate their ideas and what shapes their perspective.
We’re welcoming creatives across experience levels, from emerging talent to experienced designers and multidisciplinary practitioners, including those looking to sharpen their perspective, explore new directions, or better understand how their skills and experience can translate across disciplines.
Through group discussion, guided reflection, and portfolio feedback, participants will share work, exchange perspectives, and engage with peers and leaders from across DC’s design and creative community while considering new possibilities for their skills, ideas, and creative direction.
You do not need a polished portfolio to participate. Bring a full portfolio, a single project, something still in progress, or simply come ready to reflect on your ideas, influences, and direction.
