Mays ArutyunyanFirst-year graduate student at MARCHEntering Master's program at MARCH this year I faced a problem - I lacked my business card. The architect's business card is his portfolio. But so many do not even know where to start to make this business card. While studying at Portfolio School, I got the opportunity not only to make an individual portfolio, but also to release my creativity and plunge into the atmosphere of the school, which helped me to enter. -
Albert ValevskyFirst-year undergraduate student at MARCHAt the beginning of the course there was a sense of fear and uncertainty, but the environment, constant interaction with gifted, creative people contributed to the transformation of the personality. New vision of reality emerged, as David Lynch would say: I got filled with lots of ideas, and most importantly - the desire to work to improve myself.
