Join us on Thursday, October 29th, from 1 PM – 2:30 PM EST for an afternoon of portfolio feedback and discussion.
At Loft Design, we love connecting with our design community to share work, bounce off ideas, and offer a window into our design process. We are excited to announce our fall Virtual Portfolio Review Session!
Event Format:
We’ll have breakout rooms to ensure that everyone gets high-quality feedback while learning from their peers.
1-on-2 Mentorship: Each participant will be in a room with two Loft designers for a direct review of their work.
Small Group Learning: You’ll be joined by 3-4 other reviewees in your breakout room. You are encouraged to listen to other critiques and stay to hear the feedback given to your peers, it's a great way to see different design approaches in action.
20-Minute Deep Dives: Every participant will have a dedicated 15-minute window to walk through their projects.
Shared Insights: Some of the best reflections come from hearing how others solve similar design challenges.
Who Should Attend
This event is open to designers of all levels, from students building/ refining their portfolio to professionals looking for a fresh perspective. Whether you are seeking a review or just want to see how Loft approaches design critiques, we’d love to see you.
How to Participate
Because these sessions are highly personalized, critique space is limited to 15 people. If those seats fill up, you can still join as an attendee to listen in or share work in case of no-shows
RSVP: Book your space while the eventbrite is open, if you are unable to make it please let us know so another person can participate.
Notification: Our team will notify participants with a calendar invite by Friday, October, 23rd.
Tips for an efficient 20-Minute Review
To make the most of your time with in the session, we recommend the following:
Curate Your Work: 15 minutes goes by fast! Pick 1 or 2 key projects that best showcase your work rather than trying to show your entire portfolio.
Test Your Tech: Ensure your microphone is working and your portfolio (PDF or Website) is ready to be screen-shared before you enter the breakout room.
Have a Specific Question: Are you looking for feedback on your storytelling, your technical execution, or your layout? Let us know upfront in hte session so we can tailor our advice.
Be a Great Peer: Since you’ll be sharing the room with other designers, feel free to take notes during their sessions, you might find their feedback just as helpful as your own!
Not looking for a review? You are still welcome to join our virtual room to listen in and share your thoughts.
We look forward to seeing your work and meeting you!

This realization has led her to focus on developing products and experiences that evolve with the user while remaining empathetic to how they can improve lives. As an industrial designer, Saloni is passionate about bringing together design, engineering, and business to tackle pressing challenges around us. She has worked in a variety of fields, including social innovation, healthcare, sustainable product development, and consumer products.
Prior to Loft, Saloni got her master’s degree at MIT where she saw how the design process can be a key component to bring state-of-the-art solutions can to life. Her work at MIT ranged from conducting user research in zero gravity to make space more inclusive at the Media Lab, developing accessible pregnancy tests for people with vision impairments, and measuring the body's hydration levels at the Gray lab, IMES.
