Im a Ux and UI design student. This is helpful I have a variety of niches that I am learning. My only issue is finding clients who would let me work for free or with little pay to help me build my portfolio since this would be my first job. I know having nothing to show for them does not make them trust me or feel confident enough in me but this video helped me with going about things in a different approach.
You can always use design challenges and put those works into your portfolio. When you start getting real clients, then add that work into your portfolio. Good luck! 😊
