About this session

Breaking into Product Design without a design degree feels overwhelming: bootcamps, YouTube tutorials, and conflicting advice on what actually matters. Add to that the paralysis of starting a portfolio from scratch.

Here's the reality: hiring managers hire problem solvers, not just degree holders. The biggest mistake career switchers make is wiping the slate clean instead of turning their background into their unfair advantage.

In this 1:1 session, we'll build a realistic path forward:

  1. Audit your transferable skills: turn your background into an asset, not a gap.
  2. Cut through the noise: the core competencies you actually need (and what to skip).
  3. Strategic project selection: 1–2 high-signal case study concepts, not just pretty screens.
  4. Format & roadmap: the right presentation format and milestones to start executing immediately.

Walk away with total clarity on what to build, how to present it, and a concrete plan to land your first UX role.
