This is my personal opinion about design portfolios:
1. Make sure your craft meets the bar. The bar is AI at the minimum.
2. Concise Synopsis: Role, problem, insight, solution, outcome. Each should be a blurb. Link out to Figma. Think 2-3 mins to review.
3. Don’t try to be clever.

TariffTokers, Gen Z’s ‘it couple’, Easter potatoes, anti-MAGA hats, Zuck's D.C. mansion, Amazon's TikTok bid, Silicon Valley's cupid, and the fastest growing political channels on YouTube

I’m not a big writer but trying to get more comfortable with it this year. One way I’m doing that is with a substack doing some fun brand projects for local businesses. Join me to discuss brand stuff: open.substack.com/pub/designin...
Design with me - a work in progress
This is a "design with me" experiment where I dive into a branding project just for fun. No client, no constraints—just the creative process, from rough ideas to a full visual identity
