Sixelf: The portfolio for designers that builds itself!

One of the biggest challenges designers face is the lack of tools to track and showcase their work effectively over time. Many designers find themselves without a clear way to present their professional journey, whether to colleagues, clients, or potential employers. It stings even more when, after completing a contract, a designer is removed from files and teams, leaving behind no visible record of their contributions. It’s frustrating, and frankly, it shouldn’t be this way!

While software developers have GitHub, which visually tracks their projects and creates a heat map summarizing their work over the years, designers have been left behind — until now. Imagine if you could have a similar, evolving portfolio that automatically updates to highlight your achievements. That’s where Sixelf comes in!

Together with Emmanuel, I built Sixelf to give designers a robust way to track their contributions to design files and teams. Sixelf works effortlessly in the background, automatically syncing your work daily to create a dynamic, colourful portfolio that showcases your design journey. No more static portfolios — Sixelf gives you a living, breathing visual history of your design career.

And we’re not the only ones who believe in this future. Over 560 designers have already joined Sixelf to start tracking their contributions. Ready to get started? Sign up today at sixelf.com and start showcasing your design legacy, for free!
