We’ll tackle this in our September meeting together. Get ready for some card sorting to uncover differences in terms of research, visual design, UI, and product development. We’ll wrap up with Evelyn Luu’s best practices on preparing resumes and portfolios before we go into a round of portfolio reviews.
