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.

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.
