About this event

You spent hours perfecting your portfolio.
You applied.
And then… silence.

Why do some designers get interviews immediately while others never hear back?
What actually happens after you press “Apply”?
And what are businesses, agencies, and creative directors really looking for?

Join Friends of Figma Cyprus for an open conversation with Zoe Georgiou, Creative Director of BLCK_NORTH, as we explore the hiring process from the business side.

We’ll also review selected anonymous portfolio submissions live and discuss them together from both perspectives: business × design.

Want your work reviewed?
Submit:
— 1 portfolio case study
— your portfolio link (optional)
— your role / goals
— what kind of feedback you’d like
