The portfolio presentation that got me hired as a design manager
Enhance your design workflow with Setapp: https://stpp.co/femke
As many of you may know, I recently left my senior designer job, and I’ve started a new opportunity as a design manager.
After 5 years of being an individual contributor designer, I was ready to take on a new challenge. Management has always been an area I wanted to grow into, and I was pretty nervous about applying for a manager role and not having any management experience. Regardless, it didn’t stop me from actually applying to these jobs, interviewing and landing a new role 🤗
In this video, I’ll walk you through the portfolio that got me hired as a design manager.
Enjoy!
