Aneta Kmiecik — Co-Founder
I help designers build portfolio careers - not just portfolios ✨ Here's the short version: ↳ 15 years in the creative field, 8 in UX, with roots in architecture and graphic design ↳ Coached 1,000+ designers on portfolios, career moves, and getting hired ↳ 650+ portfolios built through my UX Portfolio Course ↳ I also create content and partner with brands like Framer, Figma, Mobbin and more ↳ Built an online community of almost 200k designers across social channels Most designers don't struggle with design itself. They struggle with direction, positioning, and knowing what to do next. That's the stuff I actually talk about. Topics I cover: ↳ Design portfolios - how to build one that tells a story and gets you interviews ↳ Design career growth - because everyone needs money and fulfillment ↳ Future-proof skills - storytelling, AI, no-code, interactive design, and whatever comes next ↳ Hiring insights - things I've picked up helping startups find designers Other things I'm up to: ↳ Teaching my UX Portfolio Course ↳ Experimenting with tools like Framer, Claude, Cursor, Figma, and more ↳ Learning the stuff they don't teach designers - running a business, building a brand, creating products If you're a designer figuring out your next move, I make content for you. If you're a brand that wants design content that doesn't feel like an ad, let's talk. 💌 Find me here: Instagram: instagram.com/ux.aneta Newsletter: beyourowndesignteam.beehiiv.com/subscribe Community: be-your-own-design-team.circle.so/c/be-your-own-design-team/
