Portfolio review is now optional for Associate Membership
At the recent AGM, the Membership has voted to remove the portfolio review as a requirement for attaining Associate RGD Membership.
Instead of being mandatory, we are now offering new Associate RGD Members a free review within the year they join as part of one of our Career Weeks.
A Associate RGD Member is one who:
- Has provided evidence of successfully completing a recognized design-related, post-secondary diploma or degree program.
- Has 8 or fewer years of professional graphic design experience.
Associate RGD Membership offers you a Professional Designation and opens up a world of networking and promotional benefits. Associate RGDs contribute content, receive a Directory profile with portfolio gallery, can serve on Committees, be featured and act as mentors.
The fee is $175 in Canadian dollars, does not include sales tax based on your location.

With the removal of the portfolio review requirement, Associate RGDs have less barriers to entry to the RGD community should they think they need more time to work on their portfolio. They can also have the ability to schedule a free portfolio review as part of Portfolio Week when they are ready to showcase their work to a professional.Rupsha Mutsuddi Associate RGD, Rupsha Mutsuddi
