What recruiters actually look for
Design strategy hiring wants sharp framing and evidence. Show a strategy brief that guided design. Wasted effort: buzzword canvases without decisions. Studio and campus screens still reward ownership stories over tool-logo lists. Bring one artifact — case study, prototype, lookbook page, or critique notes — you can defend in depth.
