Advice for transitioning from pharma to a consumer?

I graduated in 2020 and got a job in pharma, because it’s the only industry that was hiring. I really like my company, but I’m not going anywhere creatively. I want to get a job in a creative agency that embraces out-of-the-box ideas.

I have a portfolio that I’m pretty proud of but I haven’t added to it since I graduated. I’d like to avoid portfolio school (hello, debt) but am ready to put in work outside of my day job.

TIA for advice!
