COVID-19 Update
AIGA Pittsburgh has postponed this event for precautionary reasons to limit any dangers posed to our community by the spread of the coronavirus. We are working towards rescheduling the Portfolio Review in April, with the possibility of moving to digital platforms. All attendees will be notified as soon as possible regarding a rescheduled event.
We ask you to hold off on requesting a refund until plans are announced for the possible April event. Please contact info@pittsburgh.aiga.org with any direct questions.

AIGA Pittsburgh's annual Portfolio Day returns!
AIGA Pittsburgh will be giving students and young professionals the opportunity to present a sampling of their portfolios and their resume, polish their interviewing skills, and receive constructive feedback from some of Pittsburgh's top design professionals. Portfolio Day is open to all junior and senior/advanced design students and recent graduates from any design discipline.
Participants are encouraged to bring finished portfolios or in-progress work that will benefit from professional feedback prior to finalizing a portfolio.
