5 things I wish I’d known as a junior designer on the job hunt

Portfolio advice to a younger self. — 1. Your portfolio will get you an interview, not a job The role of your portfolio (and resume) is to get you an interview. Your work should stand on its own, but it shouldn’t include an 8-page case study. Save your detailed process and trove of artifacts to review onsite. 2. Unsolicited redesigns are OK Junior designers often don’t have a lot of client projects in…

A blank page is less intimidating than a blank screen — My urge is often to start wireframing in Sketch. But even if you’re keeping things simple — only using basic shapes and grayscale — pencil on paper is a better place to start. Sketching comes easier to some. If you like drawing, it’s instinctual to start there. But I’ve never drawn for fun and certainly am not skilled at it. None of that matters. Sketching allows you to produce designs faster than a computer. More speed prevents second-guessing your ideas and leads to more unique concepts and thorough exploration.
