Practice Projects

Four realistic briefs that turn lessons into portfolio pieces

Each practice project mirrors a genuine assignment. You train on licensed material, build your own workflow and produce work samples that you can show to future clients.

Sample documents: episode notes, an article draft and an episode summary
