    Show Your Teaching Chops Through Your Portfolio

    For this role, your portfolio isn't just about your design skills—it's proof you can break down complex ideas for students. Hiring teams at ADMI will look for clear case studies that show your process and your ability to communicate decisions.

    1. Tailor your portfolio to teaching: Include a section that explains how you would teach a specific interaction design concept. Show that you can simplify jargon and make it accessible to beginners.

    2. Highlight your user research process: Walk through a project where you conducted user interviews or usability tests. Show how you turned insights into design decisions—this mirrors what you'll teach students.

    3. Prepare a mini-lecture: You might be asked to deliver a sample lesson. Prepare a 10-minute segment on a topic like wireframing or prototyping, with clear examples and a hands-on exercise.

    4. Show your software fluency: Be ready to demonstrate your workflow in Figma or Adobe XD. Mention any plugins or shortcuts that speed up your process—this shows you're efficient and current.

    5. Emphasize feedback skills: Teaching involves giving constructive critique. Share an example of how you've given feedback to peers or mentees that helped them improve their work.

    6. Connect design to the African context: ADMI focuses on Africa's digital generation. Show how you've designed for local users or how you'd adapt global UX principles to local needs.

    7. Bring energy and enthusiasm: Lecturers need to inspire. In your cover letter and interview, let your passion for design education come through—talk about why you want to shape the next generation of African designers.

    8. Know the curriculum landscape: Research common interaction design courses and be ready to discuss how you'd structure a semester. Mention any experience with curriculum development or student assessment.
