Preparing for a Design & Creative role

  • Portfolio is the CV — one clickable link at the top of your document that opens 3-5 case studies with your process (not just final visuals).
  • For product-design roles expect a design exercise — usually a 2-3 day take-home.
  • Case studies that show trade-offs and constraints land better than pretty final screens.
