And to be clear we had zero to no experience no internships, flashy portfolios or cool clients. We spend months getting rejected, laughed at, but we had perfect amount of naivity and Grit to make it work.

oh whoa, this looks cool—love that domain 🤩 i'll give this a read later! but that's such a cool story; lol i feel like it's unheard of someone getting a design job without a portfolio heh. though i guess that just shows the power of networking and connections 😅
