✅ Enter design competitions
✅ Develop your digital skills
✅ Gain practical experience

✅ Create your own projects
✅ Attend talks and events
✅ Build your professional online presence

There isn't one perfect, or simple (!), route into practice, but every project, skill, connection and conversation can help strengthen your portfolio and shape the beginnings of your professional journey.
