4 Architecture Directors React to Your Portfolios

Submit your portfolio here: https://www.bespokecareers.com/gradua... Three Bespoke Careers consultants - Jimmy (Managing Director), Craig (Director) and Lucy are joined by Claudia, Architecture Services and Design Leader of ARUP, to review three real portfolios live. With decades of experience between them reviewing hundreds of portfolios a week, they break down exactly what works, what doesn't, and what hiring managers actually look for. You'll get live, unfiltered reactions as they review page layout, project selection, image quality, text hierarchy, software listings, hand sketching, and overall storytelling... plus their honest verdict on who they'd actually call in for an interview. These three examples highlight the most common mistakes, the biggest red flags, and the small changes that make a portfolio instantly stronger. 0:00 – Introduction 1:26 – Portfolio #1: Joshua 7:14 – Portfolio #2: Olivia 15:10 – Portfolio #3: Antoni 31:20 – Senior portfolios: what changes at 10–15 years experience
