What’s on the slides

Slide 1
What I’d tell a junior designer in their first year
12 years, 3 agencies, 1 very bad portfolio review.
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.
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.
Slide 4
Steal the boring patterns.
Nobody wants a creative date picker. Save your originality for the one screen that makes the product different.
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”.
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.
Slide 7
What would you add for No. 6?
Tag a junior designer who needs this on their desk.
