Fedor Shkliarau is a product designer with 12+ years of industry experience.
Every new version of his portfolio has helped him reach new heights: from his first design internship to his first lead designer role to, now, a rewarding consulting career.
Hey,
I’m Fedor, author of Product Design Portfolio Final Final.
Sometimes, working on your portfolio can be the hardest and longest project out there.
And yet, it’s one of the most rewarding and impactful ventures since it impacts your career a lot.
It sets you up for success in job applications and helps you get noticed by hiring managers and design peers.
I’ve been there myself.
First, I didn’t know what mattered in portfolios. But finally publishing my portfolio led to peace of mind, referrals, and dream jobs.
Product Design Portfolio Final Final will not design your portfolio for you. But it will provide guidance so working on your portfolio doesn’t feel endless and in the end will help land dream jobs.

I loved how it’s not only about creating a portfolio but also about choosing the right career path, like what’s interesting and what’s not or dealing with the time management and anxieties.

The book has given me a great deal of background knowledge which I’ve been able to apply directly. It’s also given me the confidence to display my folio in front of prospective employers without the old imposter syndrome creeping in.

Thank you, Fedor, for this awesome book. I took a short break from design books, but this one reignited my passion. My key takeaways: treat your portfolio like a product, empathize with your users (hiring managers, other designers), and know your KPIs.

Using what I learned from the book, I revamped my case studies and created a Figma prototype presentation to showcase a couple of projects. I'm happy to share that I've already started with a new client!
