Portfolio Development

Portfolio and skill development with more innovative and presentation concepts

Sometimes less is more! The thought of assembling a portfolio can be daunting to say the least. We get all kinds of questions, but our one on one feedback will answer some of those tough questions you may have;

” How many projects should I put into my portfolio?”,

” How long is it suppose to be?”

” I have pages paintings / drawings / sketches, how do I present that?”

“What should I include?”

OCADU 4th Year Industrial Design

Taking a workshop with Design Labs Canada was one of the most valuable experiences of my design journey. The session wasn’t just a class — it was a personalized, one-on-one opportunity to reflect critically on my work, ask the hard questions, and learn to present my ideas with clarity and purpose. The instructors took the time to understand my goals, provided thoughtful feedback on my portfolio and skills, and helped me see how to elevate my projects in ways I hadn’t considered before. After the workshop, I felt more confident in my work, better prepared to take the next steps, and genuinely inspired to continue developing as a designer.

Drawing and design skills are always being developed by engineers and allow them to better communicate their ideas to non-technical stakeholders. The workshop by DLC has helped me reach career milestones through improved communication with stakeholders from various backgrounds and disciplines.

Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc)

The team at Design Labs Canada taught me how to approach ambitious goals and aspirations within the design field. I worked closely with the team and formed meaningful relationships throughout the experience. They helped me develop critical software skills, build a strong portfolio, and ultimately gain admission to my top-choice institution. More importantly, they showed me the real impact design can have within my community.

I believe Design Labs Canada is an incredible opportunity for anyone interested in design and architecture. I plan to stay involved and continue contributing to the growth of the design community in Canada.
