Design Skills Matrix interface on computer screen

The Design Skills Matrix is designed to help junior designers assess their strengths and identify areas for improvement. By aligning their skills with job responsibilities, users can better understand which roles suit their abilities and where they may excel. This matrix also aids in highlighting these strengths on a resume, LinkedIn profile, and portfolio, offering a structured way to approach the job search process.

Users start by placing skill sticky notes in relevant areas of the matrix, reflecting their comfort level. The tool then guides them through interpreting their skills, helping prioritize learning goals, and identifying the most valuable skills for job applications. A final worksheet helps synthesize takeaways, ensuring users can effectively showcase their best skills to potential employers.
