Stop waiting for permission

 Start building the portfolio that gets you paid

 12 weeks. 1:1 mentorship

A real client project. A portfolio + brand glow-up that makes recruiters stop scrolling

start your application

Your portfolio isn’t showing the designer you know you are

You’re stuck in DIY mode—patching together scraps from blog posts, collecting certificates, tweaking your portfolio into oblivion.

Still, your portfolio feels scattered. Shaky. Invisible.

The truth? You don’t need another template. You need proof, polish, and positioning—the trifecta that makes you stand out.

Here’s the ugly truth: no one pays top dollar for potential

Hiring managers don’t gamble on “aspiring”


  Hypothetical prompts won’t cut it

Wordsmithing alone won’t cut it

A patchwork portfolio definitely won’t cut it

They want to see strategy, collaboration, and a clear design brain at work.

Until you show that, you’ll keep getting overlooked

Claim your authority

Walk into interviews with more than promises

Instead of explaining why your portfolio’s “not quite there,” you’ve got:


  A polished case study from the Group Course foundation

  A real client project that proves you can deliver in the wild

A portfolio that flows strategically and feels undeniable

  A personal brand that screams: I belong here

That’s not a someday dream. That’s 12 weeks from now.
Apply now

Recruiters spend 7 seconds scanning a portfolio before deciding if you’re worth more time

Messy drafts? Ignored. Scattered samples? Skipped

Proof + polish + positioning? That’s what makes them stop scrolling

This isn’t theory. This is transformation.

Rebels who’ve done the work don’t just “feel” more confident—they get results

I went from second-guessing my work to feeling confident in how I present myself.

The combination of clear tools and Rox’s 1:1 coaching directly led to more interview opportunities.

This course gave me everything I needed to go from unsure beginner to confident candidate with a portfolio I’m proud of.

Having Rox personally guide me through my work was a total game-changer.
