How to Register in Create

  • Register for one review by logging into your CREATE account
  • Click on the Counseling tab in the upper right-hand corner
  • Click on “Request New Appointment”
  • Select Type: Portfolio Review
  • Select time and reviewer of your choice

Portfolio review sessions are limited, and we ask that you only register for one appointment allowing all students the opportunity to take part in this event. Career Services reserves the right to cancel any additional scheduled reviews.

Our Reviewers

Reviewers are members of the GSD community and beyond. These volunteers have graciously shared their time to assist you in polishing up your portfolios for the upcoming job and internship search.  

2026 Portfolio Review Week Reviewer Biographies

Make sure to read through the complete list of reviewer biographies before making an appointment!

A Note on Your Review

Reviewers have indicated the types of portfolios they are open to reviewing. You will only be able to view and register for a review within your discipline, unless the reviewer has indicated otherwise. 

Portfolio review week details

Reviews will last 25 minutes. Prepare to introduce yourself to your reviewer during the first 5 minutes.


You will have 20 minutes to review your portfolio. Have your portfolio ready and be prepared to share your screen to present and discuss your work.


Should you have any additional questions for your reviewer, expect to save those for the last few minutes of your review.

Reviewers are not obligated to share any identifying information. This is an event to get advice on how to polish up your portfolios for spring and summer recruitment season. Please be gracious and follow the lead and tone of your reviewer.

If you are unable to attend your review session, please cancel your registration on CREATE so that another student can register.  

Please join the meeting 2-3 minutes before your meeting time. We expect your review to begin on time, however, reviewers are managing their own waiting rooms and may occasionally run a few minutes behind with the student that precedes you. Should this occur, please be patient and understanding.  

Certain reviewers and review times are booked quickly. If you do not see the appointment you want on CREATE, it likely means that either the reviewer is reviewing portfolios outside your discipline, or that their slots have been completely booked.

If this occurs, we recommend:

  • Making sure you have a few reviewers and review times picked out in addition to your first choice so you can make sure you get an appointment.
  • Checking back on CREATE frequently, as students will sometimes cancel their appointments as their reviews draw closer.
