Course overview

Craft a stellar portfolio presentation with proven frameworks

Why Should You Take This Course?

Are you a designer who keeps facing rejection after presenting your work at product design interviews? Are you aiming to land a new job but still struggling to create a portfolio presentation deck that truly showcases your skill set?


This course is FOR YOU. In just 2 weeks, I’ll guide you step-by-step to craft a polished portfolio presentation that highlights your unique strengths and design expertise. You’ll gain the confidence to present your work and stand out in your next job interview.


Why Should You Learn From Me?

When I started looking for my first full-time job, I had no idea how to ace a portfolio presentation. Every interview felt like a struggle—I’d lose my breath presenting my work and doubted my ability to succeed. As a non-native English speaker, I had zero confidence in passing any interviews.


But through over 100 portfolio presentations with tech companies of all sizes, countless rejections, and rounds of iteration, feedback, and reflection, I finally made it! I landed my dream jobs at top companies like Spotify, Amazon, and Microsoft. Those experiences—every rejection email and every lesson learned—shaped who I am today as a designer and an expert in presentation design and storytelling.


Now, I’m bringing all that knowledge to you. Over the past 6 years, I’ve helped 100+ designers craft compelling portfolio presentations that have secured them full-time roles at big tech companies. In this course, I’ve distilled everything I’ve learned—my insights, strategies, and mentorship experience—into actionable steps to help you succeed.


What to Expect from This Course

This is a highly interactive course with in-depth discussions, Q&A, exercises, and frameworks that you can immediately apply to your presentation deck. By the end of the course, you will learn:

Minjun Chen

Product designer & content creator

I'm a senior product designer, and I've built global products across B2B and B2C industries at Spotify, Amazon, Microsoft, and Wayfair.


Why do I teach this course? As a non-native English speaker, I struggled to present my work effectively during job interviews. I didn’t know what to say, what to showcase, or how to stand out in the competitive market as a junior designer. Through years of effort, I became more comfortable and skilled at presenting. I created this course because I love helping designers gain confidence and become better at showcasing their unique stories during product design interviews.


I'm also a content creator, speaker, and design educator. Over the past five years, I've shared my design journey and insights at 30+ international conferences and schools, including the University of Washington, YouTube, Microsoft React, Ladies That UX, and Design Buddies. I've also mentored 100+ designers to help them successfully land their dream jobs. Teaching design is my passion, and I look forward to working with designers at all levels in my course to help you navigate challenges and identify your superpowers to nail the product design interviews!
