Maria at ESDIPBerlin by Suzanne Forbes May 13 2017Earlier this month ESDIPBerlin had a lovely event, Behance Portfolio Reviews.

Our wonderful María was the MC. My colleagues and I gave some short talks and then we looked at portfolios and ate vegan cupcakes. There was music and Fritz-Kola and beer of course!
