Hello portfolio review bowl! I was laid off earlier today and find myself back on the market. Luckily, I had a bit of a hunch that this was coming and have been working on my site for a few months. I would love some feedback and would be happy to DM you my site. I have 10 years of experience as a Designer / AD in the NYC market.

Hi there, similar hybrid here with similar years exp, happy to take a look

I would like to see it

Happy to take a look.

I'd love to see your book. Not necessarily for crit (I'm not really qualified to crit design) but just because I like to look at cool design.

I’m in the same boat, I got laid off too. 😔

So sorry to hear :(
Happy to swap portfolios if you’d like, or just to share horror stories and commiserate.
