Who it’s for

Designers building their first credible case study, or turning shipped side projects and screen-heavy portfolios into a clearer story.

KIT PREVIEW / NOT THE FINAL FILE

01Story / Build a credible project narrative

02UI / Explain hierarchy, states and trade-offs

03Hiring / What big tech actually publishes

04Levels / Show senior scope, not just years

05Bonus / Four ATS CV templates and the Figma file

The cover and sample structure are illustrative. The download contains an editable case-study writing template, four bonus ATS-friendly CV templates with the Figma source, and seventeen designed guides covering case-study structure, portfolio hosting, storytelling, UI decisions, visual evidence, research practice, published big-tech hiring guidance, scope and levelling, presentation, AI-assisted work and self-review, with a personal-use license. Hiring guidance summarises publicly published company material and is not insider information or a promise of an interview. Tool pricing and free-tier limits are dated snapshots that change frequently.
