Reading "How to articulate design decisions" by Tom Greever helped me land a role

As the title says, this book helped me breakdown my work into chunks that made it interesting to talk about in interviews and walkthroughs.

FYI, I was laid off in February and landed a new role after 2 months of working full-time on interview prep. Of course I did other things like play around with different portfolio format, etc but when it comes to the mid to final rounds, this book helped me a lot. If you've read it, you'll know there's a lot of "basic" concepts of designs and how to explain it but reading how the author breaks it down was the best reflection tool for me and how I wanted to format my talking points or structure my walkthroughs.

As a solo designer previously, I realized a lot of the detailed reasonings of my work became buried in my own mind as I was so used to just sharing work and stakeholders didn't always care for reasoning at the previous company.

Just remembered this book today randomly and thought I'd share!
