⭐️ Personal Website
When you have no clients yet, then to design a website for yourself, your website is like your face when it comes to searching for new jobs or clients so make your website look perfect!

⭐️ Personal Projects
It can be a redesign for your favorite rapper website, a design for a clothing app, or anything you can think about, it’s all about fun and makes things look pretty!

⭐️ Design for friends
A great technique I use back then is to design for my friends for free. It’s great to gain experience and to build your portfolio, also I think it will be fun to design for your friends, trust me, they will thank you later on!

⭐️ Just redesign!
Another great tip I would suggest is to redesign. Just redesign the websites you love, or think that you can add your touch to them.

⭐️ Design for fake clients
Nowadays, there are a few websites that give you random briefs that possibly could be sent by a client.

Bonus — 4 tools that may be useful in your designer way:

Crello — the simplest online image editor. A simple but powerful tool to create awesome designs for any social media format — posts, covers, graphics, and posters using the best software on the web. It’s easy! A lot of animated designs.
Webflow — all-in-one web design tool that allows users to design, build, and launch responsive websites visually.
Funnelytics — an incredible tool that helps you build the best marketing funnel mapping.
Flowkit — allows designers to create frighteningly fast user flows within Sketch and Figma.
