Learn how to turn your university projects into a CV, portfolio, and covering letter that show you can work in a studio
This isn’t about doing more projects
It’s about how you present the work you already have
You don’t need more experience to apply this
Why You’re Not Getting Interviews
You’ve done the degree. You’ve built a portfolio. But you’re not getting interviews
It’s usually not because your design work is weak
It’s because your application still reads like a student’s
Studios aren’t hiring students
They’re hiring junior designers who can contribute from day one
That means strong graduates are being filtered out in seconds. Not because of ability, but because of how their work is communicated

In this masterclass, I’ll show you how to present your work so it reflects how studios actually operate
Even if you have no work experience
You’ll see a real example of how one graduate turned university work into an interview-ready application

A Typical Graduate Example
This is based on a typical graduate starting point:
- No work experience
- Limited software
- Standard university projects
Instead of presenting that as student work, she:
- Framed projects as professional experience
- Showed how problems were solved
- Positioned herself as a junior designer
Same work. Different outcome
And that’s what most people don’t realise.
If this is the gap you’re seeing, you should attend the session
This is the simple process behind it:
