What recruiters actually look for
Physical product design screens want constraint navigation. Show a product with tradeoffs. Wasted effort: sculpture for mass manufacture claims. 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.
