Rebel against low pay

Build portfolio proof that actually gets you hired ↙

The kind of case study hiring managers actually want to see

start my case study

You’re not underpaid because you’re bad at what you do

A sticker of a cartoon character with one eye, holding a sign that says 'SMASH' above its head. The character has a speech bubble and stands against a black background.

You’re underpaid because your portfolio isn’t doing its job

If it doesn’t show how you think, it can’t prove your value.

Fix my portfolio

Pretty portfolios get compliments

Strategic portfolios get hired

Hiring managers aren’t looking for more samples

They’re looking for people who can define the problem, think strategically, and explain their decisions.

That’s the gap most portfolios never close.

One strong case study beats ten random samples ✢

When you show how you think (not just what you write) you stop competing on price and start being hired for value.

This is where portfolios actually start working.

I'm ready for portfolio proof

From underpaid writer to
✴ global brands

I’m Roxana Shirazi, founder of The Content Design Co.

I went from burned-out writer to content designer working with Meta, bp, Citi, and Ford.

I built Mini Portfolio after seeing too many talented writers stuck in the same loop:

Doing good work. Charging too little. Getting overlooked.

The common thread?

Their portfolios didn’t show strategy.

Take the $27 leap

This isn’t another portfolio template

Mini Portfolio is strategy-first, not theory-first

You’re guided through how to think, so the final case study actually means something to the people reviewing it

Show My Strategic Thinking

Your rebellion starts here

 The Mini Portfolio Content Design Course — just $27

You’ll:

  • Show strategy without overexplaining yourself

  • Stop competing on price alone

Start my first case study

  • Meet your “client,” SwiftCart. Get your bearings, set your goals, and prep to turn messy drafts into magic.

    👉 You’ll leave knowing exactly what you’re building and why it matters.

  • Learn what content design actually means (no jargon, no BS). You’ll understand how writers think like designers, solving user problems with words that work.

    👉 Spot where content fails in SwiftCart’s checkout and start thinking like a designer.

  • Forget the fancy tools. You’ll audit competitors, analyze real user quotes, and define the problem your rewrite will fix. Quick, scrappy, and smarter than 90% of what’s out there.

    👉 You’ll craft your one-line content mission; your north star for the project.

  • Make SwiftCart sound human again. You’ll define its voice, test different tones, and learn how to write for emotion without losing clarity.

    👉 Write microcopy in different tones and prove you can adapt like a pro.

  • Buttons. Labels. Error messages. You’ll rewrite the checkout flow from top to bottom, making it clear, confident, and supportive.

    👉 You’ll create rewritten screens + a short rationale showing your thinking.

  • Now we turn your work into a case study that sells your skills. You’ll use our Canva template to design a clean, strategic, portfolio-ready presentation.

    👉 End result: a finished, hireable case study you can actually show off.

I want to be hireable

Hear from the crew

As a writer, it’s been tough to find jobs that use my skillset and challenge me creatively while still making enough money. Now I have the skills, confidence, and portfolio I needed to finally stand out and get noticed.

This course helped me turn my messy file cabinet of samples into a clear story that actually makes hiring managers pay attention.
