Whether you’re a student, an international applicant, or just starting to build your portfolio, this circle is designed to help you take meaningful, manageable steps toward your first job in the industry.
We’ll focus on both technical skills and personal strategies—so you can grow your 3D modeling portfolio and your confidence in professional spaces.
