Changed my life

Created 8 hours ago

Attending Fullstack Academy was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I completed the Flex Immersive program in March 2020. Everything about the school is very well managed and thought-out.

Portfolio

Created 2 months ago

A designers portfolio is very important. It is what differentiates you over other graduates and designers. Portfolio work was not started until the last 2 weeks. I would suggest starting it as soon as possible. This was not expressed enough throughout the course.

Pros

You get to meet like minded people, learn great skills and network.

Cons

Portfolios can look very similar because projects are all the same.
