01. Get Involved
Take an active part in the world of design (online or in real life).

03. Keep Sketches
Sketches demonstrate your thought process, your creativity and problem-solving skills.

Attend in-person interview (whenever possible). Bring along your portfolio and sketches so that you can present tangible pieces.
