Matt Sellers — lfs.gd (opens lfs.gd)1

A whole episode behind his portfolio: why he removed 80%+ of his work, his microcopy, and the micro-animations he built in Framer. He was one of Lovable's design hires from the Dive Talent Network; Lovable's head of design, Nad Chishtie, also walks through this portfolio (2025-12-19, at 17:47).

Tommy Smith — tommy-s.co.uk (opens tommy-s.co.uk)2

A whole episode on why his portfolio works: a side project treated as a first-class case study, positioning as a new design engineer, and personality added with Rive experiments. He landed a new role through the Dive Talent Network.

Preston Booth — prestonb.xyz (opens prestonb.xyz)3

Shown as a portfolio that won attention despite a mid-level record: he built a small universe of his own, an office you explore, with a command menu, hover effects, a video about himself and little games. The episode says he now works at Clerk.

Claire Taylor — claire.io (opens claire.io)4

Shown as simple and elegant until you interact with it: hover states that preview content, and products you can open to walk through their screens. Her writing on Substack is praised, and a hiring manager cited her site as the level they were looking for.

Matt Silva — mattsilva.dev (opens mattsilva.dev)11

Shown as the designer-builder hiring managers are looking for: no job titles, just the headline "I craft products where design & engineering meet", a card that unfolds, and a lab of UI experiments. He took the feel of switches on a mechanical camera as his inspiration. The episode says he now works as a design engineer at Polymarket.

ÌníOlúwa Abíódún — iniabiodun.com (opens iniabiodun.com)12

"Atelier ÌníOlúwa": the portfolio is a warmly lit study you explore, with a bookshelf library of her writing, light modes and optional music. Held up with Preston Booth's as a site that puts you in a small world of its own.

Kris Puckett — krispuckett.com (opens krispuckett.com)5

He shows the personal site he rebuilt with Claude: a WebGL ocean shader whose sun follows the time of day in Denver, a short bio, and a way to ask it questions about him.

15 Dec 20259 months ago

Roman Tesliuk — pixelwrld.co (opens pixelwrld.co)6

The story of his personal site: a simple Framer site that links his projects, built around one hover interaction, which the host calls the best move for a personal site. He is a product designer at ElevenLabs.

Marco Cornacchia — marco.fyi (opens marco.fyi)7

The host tells listeners to visit his portfolio as the clearest example of leading with your work: the work itself, animated and interactive, on the home page instead of buried in case studies.

24 Aug 20233 years ago

Anthony Hobday — anthonyhobday.com (opens anthonyhobday.com)8

A deliberately constrained personal site: hand-written HTML and CSS, text only, one column and one type size.

18 Aug 20266 weeks ago

Patrick Morgan — itspatmorgan.com (opens itspatmorgan.com)9

The episode ends with a chapter looking at his portfolio. The episode itself is about the prototyping tool he built at Sublime Security.
