Selling Ourselves Short: Deconstructing the design portfolio and examining it’s ability to
encapsulate a practice that prioritises conversation was the title of my dissertation.
Design portfolios are tools of self promotion and encourage the view of design as a service.
This dissertation was an enquiry in to the design portfolio, challenging it’s competency as a tool to define our practice, and questioning whether the reductive act of portfolio curation can also reduce our identities.
Exploring design practices that celebrate collaboration, all of my references have been linked and woven in to a structured argument that makes the case for viewing design as a conversation and designing ones portfolio accordingly.
