frequently asked questions
are there any resources you'd recommend to get started in product design or adjacent roles?
yes - general design resources, product design portfolios, product design case studies, intro to design, design systems, design engineering. i'm not actively maintaining these, so some of the older links may be broken.
can i get a referral?
i'll usually refer you if we know each other, are mutuals, or if i think your work is interesting.
how did you get into product design?
after starting university for computer science and business, i went to a hackathon and learned about figma. i was failing calculus and thought design would be a more suitable career path, so i withdrew from school after one semester. i worked on a lot of product design projects and ended up at art school to explore my personal art practice.
how did you get internships?
i did 3 internships while i was a student and i cold applied to all of them without referrals. what worked for me was applying to jobs as soon as they came out, two strong case studies on my portfolio, and extra attention to visual design. everyone has different strengths and experiences, your mileage may vary.
can i see your previous product design portfolios?
i've compiled all my past websites, most of which are portfolios, onto this page. i'll be adding a video recording to it soon.
