Portfolio Narrative: Design Communication Methods + Practices

Whether conducting a presentation, participating in a charrette, critique, or professional interview, it is critical to have a clear and concise vision of your work. Our work as creative thinkers is often a projection of self, making the process of discussing and sharing our ideas a vulnerable experience. Students will explore methods and practices designed to develop confidence and improve the verbal, nonverbal, and graphic communication skills required to create and convey a clear design narrative. Each session will be comprised of a series of workshops, design sessions, and lectures culminating in the production of a professional portfolio that represents the individual as a thinker and maker.
