(English) Be a world Class Designer - Guidione Machava

Épisode de Head Of Design par Paul MENANT · 1 avril 2026 · 55 min

What does it really take to become a “world-class” designer?

In this episode of Head of Design, we dive into the journey of a designer who made it to Shopify — with a clear mission: understand, structure, and make accessible what truly defines top-tier designers.

A raw and honest conversation about:

👉 what really happens inside hiring processes at companies like Shopify

👉 what makes a portfolio stand out (and why most fail)

👉 and how designers can level up in today’s competitive market

In this episode, we explore:

an unconventional journey from tech to design

the reality behind recruitment processes in top tech companies

common mistakes designers make in their portfolios

and the creation of World Class Design, a platform built to help designers reach the next level

One key takeaway stands out:

being a “good” designer is no longer enough. You need to show impact, tell a story, and demonstrate how you think.

A highly practical episode for designers who want to raise their standards, better understand the market, and get closer to the level of the best.
