Portfolio Surgery - Susan from The Chase

Today I had a portfolio surgery from Susan from The Chase, as part of the D+AD portfolio sessions at Leeds College of Art.

It was partly a little bit of pot luck due to the organisation of D+AD, almost first come first serve and a random selection of professionals, to be assigned to, I ended up with the Chase, and I was very happy.

The meeting was short and sweet, I managed to get through my portfolio and we seemed to hit it off in a little discussion. The main things I took from the surgery was to have faith in your work, and reasoning why you make the decisions for your practice. I think she enjoyed the ideas I had, a little jealous of the facilities we have at LCA and the enthusiasm I had for what I had produced. I think if you are in the situation where you can speak one on one with a professional like that, you shouldn't waste it.

After the surgery, I fired a quick email across as a little thanks.
