I’m Álvaro Souza, a Product Designer with over a decade of experience working across multiple industries and more than six countries. I’ve collaborated with companies in hospitality, fintech, e-commerce, SaaS, and enterprise platforms, and helped build and scale design teams inside large organizations.
Over the years, I’ve completed 1,000+ mentorship sessions, reviewed hundreds of portfolios, and worked closely with designers at different seniority levels. That experience gives me a very clear pattern recognition of what hiring managers look for, and what quietly gets portfolios skipped.
This roast is not based on trends, personal taste, or design theory. It’s based on real hiring reviews, real interviews, and real portfolio decisions. The goal is simple: help you understand how your portfolio is perceived and what actually needs to change to improve your chances.

The group mentoring was far better than I expected. I was able to ask all my questions with ease, and I learned a lot from others’ experiences too. It was amazing!

Incredible! Lots of new insights, even on topics I was already familiar with. All the portfolio and CV tips were extremely valuable to me.

In 2022, I achieved my biggest goal: I transitioned into UX within the company I was already working at. Álvaro’s mentorships were essential for making that happen.
