Why I’m grateful to work remote

1. I have more energy day-to-day with personal down time between team meetings where I don’t have to be 100% on form 

2. My home office is a meeting room, classroom and design studio with no distractions which keeps me mega creative and able to get more done in less time.  

3. Between calls I get chores done which frees up my weekend to spend time doing what I love with who I love. 

4. Working with a diverse team around the world expands my perspectives and keep me motivated. 

5. I can work from anywhere in the world which gives me flexibility to extend short weekenders into month long adventures. 

Everyday I’m grateful to work remotely from Memorisely HQ

Award winning portfolios don’t win jobs. 

By spending excessive time on your portfolios you’ll…

- Miss job applications. 
- Neglect networking. 
- Delay company research. 
- Reduce interview practice. 
- Burnout and lose motivation 

If you want an ego boost, spend excessive time creating your portfolio. 

If you want a job, spend time creating a minimum viable portfolio.

Stop learning to write code. 

Start learning to write copy. 

Writing is an underdeveloped design skill. 

Writing improves engagement. 
Writing sets a tone of voice. 
Writing reduces user friction. 
Writing increases trust. 
Writing completes design. 

Before learning to code, every designer should learn to write. 

Agree?

Memorisely UX/UI students mapping user flows in figjam! 

So proud of my UX/UI students who are smashing their first case studies, wrapped up their portfolios and are now interviewing and sharpening their skills!

Give design feedback without saying ‘I’ 

Subjective feedback is personal 
I like…
I don’t like…
I think…

Objective feedback is actionable 
What works…
What doesn’t work…
What could help…

Stay objective and don’t let your aesthetic ego get in the way.

Good designers are great listeners 

Great listeners
- Know how to shut up 
- Ask open ended questions 
- Keep an open mind
- Action feedback 
- Practice empathy
- Hear words & interpret their meaning 

Technical skills can only get you so far as a designer. 

Learn to listen.

Healthy interview conversations in 2023 should include 

- Transparent salary range
- Holiday allowances
- Benefit options 
- Over-time compensation
- Wellness support 
- Education & training plans

Remember, an interview is a two-way conversation 

#career #jobs #interview #startup #ux #ui

Every job rejection gives you direction

Rejections will 
- Alter ambitions
- Shift application style
- Influence portfolio tweaks  
- Motivate market research 
- Encourage interview practice
- Build resilience

Remember, each job rejection nudges you in a new direction. 

The key is being vulnerable and knowing that your new direction is also the right direction. 

You've got this!

Your first idea is your worst idea 

First ideas are 
- Based on your bias 
- Default known solutions 
- Lack basic innovation 
- Rarely customer focused 
- Easy and immeasurable

Remember, your best ideas are multiple ideas synthesised into one idea.
