Interviewing for a job. I it ok to ask to see the portfolios of the other designers, to see how good their work is? I’ve got stuck working with some shitty designers before and want to avoid a repeat.

you could always show initiative and look them up yourself. would show you’re more interested in the job and people as well if you’re familiar with all of their work

if you know the company you can look everyone up on LinkedIn like mentioned below

You should do 2 things
1. If you are partnering with someone you should ask to see their book and have an interview with them.

2. You should look at the agency portfolio closely. That is the best guide for the level of work you will be creating. It is EXTREMELY rare to move the needle by leaps and bounds at an existing shop - especially at a senior level vs ECD.

Agreed.^ Find the other designers on LinkedIn and then get their portfolio from there.

Agree with the feedback given thus far. I don’t know how accurate it would be to ask the agency unless credits come with it because you don’t know how many hands touched it as who did what.

I’ve generally looked creatives up on LinkedIn and you can get an idea of their strengths and weaknesses judging by the sum of their work.
