Every designer needs more than just great work—they need to know how to show it. A strong case study can make the difference between landing your next client, project, or job, and being overlooked.
Join us for this hands-on workshop at Edmonton Design Week, where you’ll learn how to craft case studies that don’t just display your work but tell the story behind it. We’ll dive into:
Structuring an effective case study layout that’s clear and compelling
Showcasing your work in a way that highlights both visuals and thinking
Expanding on existing projects to demonstrate flexibility and multi-asset application
Talking about your work—your role, your process, and your approach—without overcomplicating it
Identifying the key details, stats, and achievements that prove impact
This workshop is designed for designers, illustrators, and creatives who want to build portfolios that win clients, jobs, and opportunities. Whether you’re polishing an existing portfolio or starting fresh, you’ll walk away with practical tools and inspiration to take your case studies to the next level.
Who should attend
Emerging designers building their first portfolio
Experienced creatives looking to sharpen how they present their work
Freelancers and agency designers who want to stand out in pitches
What to bring
A laptop or notebook (optional but helpful)
A project or two you’d like to develop into a case study
