1. First, treat Behance seriously. Don't treat it like Dribbble. Make it a place for quality work, not quantity.
2. After creating your account, focus on your first case study. The goal isn't to do rushed or lazy work. Use all the tools available to your advantage and create only your best work.
3. Once that's done, sign up for the Behance Pro free trial. It comes with 7 free days. Use that opportunity to boost the case study you've just uploaded and get it in front of thousands of users.
If your work is good enough, this alone could land you your first job. Behance Pro also comes with other benefits, like access to job opportunities and additional visibility tools.
The interesting part is that my free trial seems to have lasted longer than the advertised 7 days 😅. I've been using it for a while and it still hasn't disappeared.
So while it's still active, keep creating projects, boost them to a wider audience, and apply for more jobs.
I hope this works for you. 🙌🏿
The industry keeps telling young designers to “learn AI or get left behind.”
How about:
• learn color theory.
• learn typography.
• learn how to present your work.
• learn to take feedback without dying inside.😁
We didn't want to just post for IWD and call it a day.
So we built a one month internship programme to give young women a real look into the corporate world early enough to decide: confirm the path or pivot before it costs you years.
Our interns have arrived, they’ve been onboarded and they are getting to work. 🎉
And we didn’t forget everyone who didn't make the final cut. We hosted an engagement session with our female AVPs, for conversations about careers, fields, and what fintech actually looks like from the inside.
Because the goal was to impact as many young women as possible.
We are happy to have our interns and to be part of their journey of becoming. 🥳
As a young Nigerian, please build something.
I am not talking about just apps
Build anything

I want to prove something publicly.
Anyone with a skill can get a client inquiry in 48 hours if they follow 5 specific steps.
I am going to post those 5 steps as a thread right now.
You execute them in the next 48 hours.
Then reply to this tweet with your result.
If you follow all 5 steps and get zero
inquiries DM me personally and I will review your execution for free.
That is the challenge.
Ready?
