What employers look for
A strong portfolio is more important than a degree in most creative roles. Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere, After Effects) is standard. For UX roles, tools like Figma and knowledge of user research methods are key. Video editors with colour grading and audio skills are especially in demand.
