Portfolio Review Sprint · Free

A hiring manager's eyes on your portfolio — before the interview.

A free, 2-week sprint of structured 1:1 reviews run by expert mentors with 4+ years in UX and product design. Get the feedback hiring managers think but rarely say — then fix it while it still counts.

5–6 hours total · Bring a portfolio with 3+ case studies

What your reviewer looks at.

The same four lenses a hiring panel uses — applied to 1–2 of your case studies.

Storytelling

Does your case study read as a decision narrative, or a screenshot gallery? Structure, flow, and what to cut.

UX decision-making

Can a reader trace why you made each call — and would you survive the "why this, not that?" question live?

Business impact

What changed because of your work? Framing outcomes credibly, even without perfect metrics.

Visual hierarchy

Whether the craft of the portfolio itself — layout, emphasis, scannability — works for a 90-second skim.

How the two weeks run.

Apply

Get matched

Submit your portfolio (3+ case studies). We match you with a mentor whose experience aligns with your target roles.

Week 1

The hiring-style review

A real 1:1 review of 1–2 case studies — storytelling, decisions, business impact, hierarchy. Specific, written feedback.

Between

You iterate

Apply the feedback. This is the whole point — the sprint is built around your revision, not the critique.

Week 2

Validate & get interview-ready

A final session to pressure-test the improvements and rehearse how you'll present the work in interviews.

A portfolio with at least 3 case studies. The review focuses deeply on 1–2 of them.
Who are the mentors?
Practicing UX and product designers with 4+ years of experience, matched to your target roles where possible.
How is this different from a Discord critique?
Channel critiques are quick takes. The sprint is a structured hiring-style review with written feedback, your revision, and a follow-up session to validate it.
