Portfolios are not your end game (CSM portfolio advice)

I used to get more people asking me "How do I make a portfolio to apply to CSM?", they probably stopped because I'd never give a straightforward answer with THE SECRET.
But let me challenge the assumption that a good-looking portfolio is all you need.

If you're in a situation where it seems like CSM is years + tens of thousands of £££ away, start small:
- How can you improve your research skills?
Don't just sketch whatever and put it next to a picture to say you did research. Keep digging deeper, and do more quick studies (try my free runway model template: eepurl.com/gk3ssz)
- How can you improve your design development skills?
Upcycle some pieces from the thrift shop, or try to tszuj up the stuff you already have in your closet - and that'll even be an icebreaker in interviews.
Don't get fixated on getting the diploma, have fun being creative right now.
