Hi Aden! 
I'd recommend applying for one of our Portfolio Masterclass events – they’re a brilliant place to get feedback on your work and get in front of industry mentors.
Follow the page here:

I would also recommend finding a mentor - @Pip Jamieson has a brilliant list of mentors/organisations that can help you find a mentor which can be found here: https://the-dots.com/asks/i-m-putting-together-a-list-of-great-organisations-that-help-people-find-mentors-any-suggestions-top-tips-200

I wish you the best of luck!
