In this Open Studio hosted at Ackroyd Lowrie, 15 emerging creatives had the opportunity to present a selection of their work and receive personalised feedback on their portfolios and job applications. The session offered practical guidance on how to communicate skills, experiences, and design approaches effectively to potential employers. Participants also learned valuable hiring tips and gained insight into the variety of projects undertaken by the studio, helping them understand the range of opportunities within professional practice. By combining constructive feedback, career advice, and exposure to real-world projects, the workshop equipped attendees with confidence, inspiration, and practical knowledge for pursuing careers in design and architecture.
