WHY I WENT VIDEO-FIRST WITH MY DESIGN PORTFOLIO — AND HOW YOU CAN, TOO

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

A designer adopted a video-first approach for their portfolio, recording presentations of their work to help potential employers understand their communication style and design process before scheduling interviews. The strategy involved creating slide presentations in Figma first and then recording walkthroughs with Screen Studio, which were embedded into their existing portfolio website alongside text summaries and slide decks. This approach leverages improved recording tools, addresses the dynamic nature of modern design work, and aligns with remote work communication patterns while providing an early competitive advantage in job applications.
