This system helps you go from vague goals to measurable progress, from guessing to intentional skill building, and from scattered work files to a structured growth archive.

Who it’s for

• New designers starting from zero and aiming for their first junior role
• Visual and graphic designers leveling up toward mid or senior
• Design leads who want a simple way to guide growth
• Freelancers building a portfolio with measurable progress

A practical Notion workspace that helps you map skills, plan actions, track evidence, and actually see your progress. Instead of hoping you’re “improving,” you’ll know exactly where you stand and what to work on next.

What you can do with it

• See all skills at a glance with clear level stages
• Add action items that move you toward the next level
• Keep notes and comments beside each skill
• Open skill pages for examples, screenshots, and links
• Filter by level to focus on skills that matter right now
• Use the board view to move tasks from not started to done
• Build a portfolio backed by real evidence of growth

For beginners: this gives you a roadmap to go from “Where do I even start?” to junior-ready with actual proof of your abilities.

For juniors/seniors: it becomes your progression system and promotion documentation.

Connect day-to-day work to the skills that move your career forward

Two versions:

1. Pre-filled version

• Comes with skill descriptions and practical ideas for showcasing them
• Perfect if you want guidance and speed
• Includes example ideas on what to do, what to measure, and how to collect evidence

2. Clean version

• Only skill names, no descriptions
• Great if you want a blank canvas to define your own system

Both versions include a short video walkthrough.

How it works:

A Notion template to map design skills, add focused action items, and capture real outcomes. Built for designers who want clear progress toward senior levels.

1. Audit your current level for each skill
2. Add action items that build the exact behaviors you want to master
3. Capture outcomes as evidence (screenshots, projects, notes, metrics, etc.)
4. Update regularly and move skills from needs work to consistent

Works for beginners too: you can track your learning process, define your early wins, and build a beginner-to-junior portfolio step by step.
