❤️ #27 - Jobs at Roblox & Tripadvisor!

February 21, 2025

Happy Friday!
It’s Sid again back with another round of design jobs!

Who am I and what do I do?
I’m a Creative Lead at the LEGO Group, based at our HQ in Billund, Denmark. I help shape the creative direction for a franchise, leading a team of designers to bring new LEGO products to life. From concept to shelf, the journey takes around 18-24 months (give or take—lots of moving pieces!). I’m also part of the leadership team, making sure every brick fits the bigger vision.

Now, let’s get into it.

Do You Really Need a Website Portfolio as a Designer?

I get this question a lot! I used to say, “yes, ofcourse, you’re a designer. make a website now!”

But actually my stance has changed.

Short answer: Yes. But maybe not as much as you think.

I go through hundreds of portfolios a year. Some are sleek, others overdesigned, most make me hunt for actual work. I don’t have time for that. No one does.

Here’s my take—keep your website stupid simple.

(Unless you’re showcasing web design skills, and that’s like the main goal of your website. Don’t reinvent UX)

A clean, easy-to-navigate site does the job! Page, with thumbnails going to another page with image and description. That’s it.

But here’s the real game-changer: a 10-page PDF portfolio that’s always up-to-date and ready to send. No loading times, no distractions—just your best work, instantly accessible.

A website? Useful.

A killer PDF? Essential.

Keep it simple. Keep it sharp.
