Where Design Careers Start, Grow, and Get Noticed

“DesignDA helped me turn a portfolio I was embarrassed to share into something I proudly send to hiring managers.”

I had just finished a UX bootcamp and didn’t know how to organize my work. The 1:1 walkthrough session with Chris was incredibly eye-opening. He called out sections that lacked clarity and helped me completely restructure my homepage and About page. Two weeks later, I started getting callbacks. It’s the best investment I made after graduation.

“Their Figma review was the single most valuable design critique I’ve received in my career.”

Michelle didn’t just give me feedback — she taught me how to see my designs with a hiring manager’s eyes. I thought my visual design was strong, but she highlighted inconsistencies in spacing, alignment, and even interaction patterns I had overlooked. The improvements we made in one session impacted every future project I touched.

“I was transitioning from graphic design to product design, and DesignDA gave me the bridge I needed.”

I had experience in layout and branding, but didn’t understand how to present process, research, or UX thinking. They helped me choose which projects to keep and how to write case studies that told stories. I’ve since landed freelance product design work and feel much more confident about the direction I’m heading.

“The career coaching was grounded, strategic, and brutally honest — exactly what I needed.”

I had been applying for months without a single interview. Chris quickly spotted that I was trying to be too many things in my portfolio and advised me to double down on my strength: interaction design. We rewrote my bio, restructured my project order, and added narrative where I had none. I’ve since gotten two offers — both roles align with my new direction.
