Hi everyone 👋. My name is Natalia, and I'm a Mentor at Dribbble UI Design and Product Design Courses. I've created this Case Study as a guideline to help you with your design portfolio. If you are looking for feedback, feel free to share your case studies in the comments⭐

Let's start with Cover image! Choose a beautiful image that will be the first in the case study and the thumbnail for the whole project!
