DM me your portfolio if this is you 🤝
design recruiter confession:
yes, I look at your LinkedIn
yes, I click around
yes, I look at your posts
yes, I look at your website
yes, I absolutely notice when your portfolio says “coming soon”
i have yet to see someone enter or exit the L train at 3rd street…should we just delete that stop idk
I fear designers have been lied to about “being a generalist”
being able to do product + brand + web + motion + storytelling is not inherently confusing
the trick is making the RANGE feel intentional instead of random
things i love about working on a small team
if you want to do something, you can just do it
crazy concept
design school taught me how to critique a portfolio
recruiting taught me how to read one in 90 seconds
both are useful
one is significantly more stressful
roommate works at a tech company and this is how she communicates with me
a virtual hug if you can guess where she works
