Early cohort (N=24). Figures are directional and refresh as more Product Designer portfolios are published.

Notable findings
  • Figma is a listed skill for 88% of designers, yet just 0% link an actual Figma file — design work lives in Behance galleries (42%), not shareable prototypes.
  • Long-form case studies are rare: just 4% include a project write-up over 80 words.

Methodology

These benchmarks are computed from 24 Product Designer portfolios created on Seera, where users upload a resume and our AI extracts a structured profile (skills, projects, experience). We group portfolios by role from the stated professional title. Skill percentages merge spelling variants (e.g. React/React.js, CSS/CSS3, Adobe Photoshop/Photoshop). Theme percentages ("What they emphasize") count a portfolio that references a topic anywhere in its listed skills or descriptions — they measure what portfolios mention, not verified practice. All figures are anonymized aggregates; no individual portfolio, name, or contact detail is exposed. Free to cite under a CC BY 4.0 license with attribution to Seera.
