Join Gensler, in collaboration with BAIDA, BEA Toronto and SOSA and leading Canadian architects and designers, for a collaborative night to assist BIPOC students in the design industry with the next steps in their careers. In the annual BIPOC Portfolio Collaboration, students will be granted an opportunity to learn about portfolio strategies within the fields of Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, Architectural Technology, and Experiential Design (Signage & Wayfinding and Environmental Graphic Design). This will be an opportunity for students to engage in conversations with members of the design community while refining their interview, portfolio building and communication skills. Strategies and advice will be shared by all participants to gear students towards design excellence and enrichment within their future careers.
