“The fact that I can get my portfolio reviewed and ask for help on how to navigate breaking into the industry from people that have a proven track record. I know that all members have to have a recommendation and then the application be viewed by a panel to join. It feels secure and I feel I am part of a professional group that you need to prove yourself to be able to join, which gives the guild for me great value to be a member.”
