Susan Augenbraun (Events Manager at the national office of AIGA) and Paul Mendoza (who leads a digital design team at UCLA) stop by to talk about the 2nd (does this make it annual?) AIGA Portfolio Festival.
Of course, no portfolio talk is complete without discussing what is expected in a portfolio.
And, as this event was created during the all-virtual world of conferences that was 2020, we also discuss how virtual events may evolve in the near future, and what parts may stick around for the long-term.

I feel like I’ve known Prescott Perez-Fox for close to 20 years, but I think it’s all been online with the exception of a lunch we had like a decade ago at a conference. Even this podcast was remote, but it felt like he was in the same room. We catch up on Prescott moving from freelancing to teaching, and the changes that can take.
We also talk about [currently on hiatus] The Busy Creator podcast he hosted, and more.
