Nota para un junior

Qué hay en las slides

1. Slide 1

   What I’d tell a junior designer in their first year

   12 years, 3 agencies, 1 very bad portfolio review.

2. Slide 2

   Show 3 options, recommend 1.

   Ten options says you don’t know. Zero options says you didn’t try. Three plus a pick says you’re a designer.

3. Slide 3

   Your Figma file is not the deliverable.

   The shipped screen is. Sit with the engineer for the last 10%. That’s where most of the design actually happens.

4. Slide 4

   Steal the boring patterns.

   Nobody wants a creative date picker. Save your originality for the one screen that makes the product different.

5. Slide 5

   Write before you draw.

   A five-line brief of who, what, and why saves you three rounds of “this isn’t quite it”.

6. Slide 6

   Feedback is about the work, not you.

   Ask “what problem do you see?” instead of defending. You’ll learn twice as fast and be invited back.

7. Slide 7

   What would you add for No. 6?

   Tag a junior designer who needs this on their desk.
