About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Your portfolio is more than a showcase—it’s your voice, your vision, and your ticket into the profession.

Join Rebecca Schwaner, landscape architect and award-winning UCLAx instructor, for an empowering and practical workshop designed to help you craft a portfolio that not only stands out—but truly represents who you are as a designer.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Curate your work with intention and clarity
  • Communicate your design story with confidence
  • Present a portfolio that reflects both creativity and purpose

Whether you’re preparing for internships, job interviews, or just want to take your portfolio to the next level—this session is for you.

With over 15 years of experience in urban design, public projects, and master planning, Rebecca brings deep insight into what firms are really looking for—and how to rise above the crowd.
