The problem
Designers often:
The outcome
You've helped build and maintain a design system, but struggle to showcase system work in a way that highlights your impact beyond components and documentation.
You're moving from product work into design systems, but your portfolio still reads like a product designer's and you're unsure how to reframe work to apply for design system roles.
You've shipped products you're proud of, but when it comes time to write about them, you're unsure what to include, what to leave out, and how to tell the story.
What to bring
You don't need a perfect portfolio or years of senior experience. You need real projects and the willingness to look at them differently.
A product or systems project you've contributed to, whether shipped, in progress, or even cancelled. We'll work with what you have.
Screenshots, Figma files, notes, or documentation. Messy is fine. We'll help you decide what to show and what to leave out.
Pro version of any preferred tool to build and publish your portfolio during the course.
Justine is one of the best people I've worked with when it comes to portfolio reviews and helping me sharpen how I present my work. She can quickly spot what is unclear, what is missing, and what needs to be reframed to better match what a company is actually looking for.
Her Into Design Systems talk helped me a lot when I was applying for my last job, and her hands-on advice has since helped me pass interviews and land a role at Stripe.
I'm Justine, a product designer with a decade of design experience. I've worked with companies like Stripe and Preply, focusing on scalable product experiences and building 0-1 and complex design systems.
I transitioned from product design into design systems with a single case study that helped me land multiple offers and ultimately pursue my dream career.
My mission is to help designers transform real projects into clear, compelling case studies that showcase their thinking, demonstrate their impact and help them stand out in a competitive job market.
