Description

There's a little secret I want to share with you:

It's quite likely that you aren't getting the job because of your design portfolio, regardless of how visually stunning or cleverly worded it may be.

That's why recruiters aren't contacting you.

It's the reason you haven't heard back from recruiters and job applications that you have sent.

Want to hear the good news? I am here to help you and FIX this issue, so that you can find your ideal design job or clients for your freelance or agency design business.

You will learn how to build a robust design portfolio from scratch in this course. Having a strong portfolio is crucial for designers who are seeking jobs in the marketplace. If you don't have a solid design portfolio, you won't get hired, regardless if you are looking to become a web, graphic or UX designer.

That being said, UX portfolios can be confusing, but you can build one without losing your mind if you follow the steps outlined in this course. This course will help you create a better portfolio in less time if you have spent hours trying to find the perfect Wordpress theme or a Squarespace template that fits your story.

We will cover all of the theory and practical step-by-step elements needed to get you a stunning portfolio in no time, with no fluff or wasting time on non-important notions.

But why should you learn how to create a design portfolio from me?

I’ll briefly introduce myself: my name is Pierluigi and I’m a full-time designer with over 8 years of experience.

After graduating with a BA Graphic Design from one of the top Design Universities in London I worked and managed hundreds of design projects for companies of all sizes and tech backgrounds, from Fortune 500 companies to Million-Dollar Companies that needed to raise their next round of funding.

On the side, I have also designed over 20 design products and my designs have been downloaded over 50000+ times.

I also have a design channel on Youtube with over 300 videos and I’m active on Dribbble and Instagram with over 30000 followers.

I had a deep passion for design ever since I was in high school and since this industry gave me so much, I want to give back by sharing the knowledge I gathered as a designer over all these years.

So, if you're looking to create an amazing design portfolio, join this class today and I'll help you bring your design career to the next level.

Who this course is for:

  • Designers, UXers and Developers looking to land a UX/Design job...or freelancers looking to land their next big client.
