Your words are design. Start charging like it.
We help writers build job-ready portfolios that make hiring managers say, “Finally—someone who gets it.”
Real talk, writer to writer
You’ve done the courses, collected the certificates, and waited for someone to notice your potential.
Here’s the problem: potential doesn’t get interviews—proof does↙
Hiring teams don’t want more words. They want to see how you think
When your portfolio shows strategy, structure, and purpose, you stop begging for chances and start getting offers
No pointless pep talks. No 47-module “masterclasses.”
Just the clarity, feedback, and receipts that make you hireable AF
The shortcut from “just a writer” to “hireable content designer.”
At The Content Design Co., we help writers ditch the low-pay grind and step into roles that actually respect their brains—and their bank accounts
We’re the only portfolio-first training company that gives you everything you need to go from “just writing words” to landing interviews and offers
Here’s how we’re different:
✢ Guided case studies → Learn by doing, not guessing. You’ll build real projects that prove your strategy and thinking
✢ Hands-on feedback + mentorship → Get clear direction and edits from Rox who’s done the work
✢ A finished, job-ready portfolio → Walk away with proof of your skills, the confidence to explain your process, and a portfolio that finally gets noticed
A portfolio that finally looks—and sounds—like you know what you’re doing
Strategy-first skills that make product teams fight to work with you
The confidence to talk about your impact without shrinking

Meet your mentor
Roxana Shirazi, founder of The Content Design Co.
Content designer, strategist, and tough-love mentor for writers ready to stop playing small
I started as a burned-out writer who thought more hustle was the answer. Spoiler: it wasn’t.
Learning to position my words as design changed everything—
it led to collaborations with Meta, bp, and Citi, and built the six-figure career I always wanted.
Now I teach writers to do the same: build portfolios that prove their thinking, land interviews, and finally earn what they’re worth.
two options, love
Keep sending the same portfolio and hope it lands

If I had tried to piece this together on my own, it would have been nearly impossible—and definitely time-consuming.
But Roxana has condensed everything into just three weeks in a way that’s not only compelling, but also incredibly easy to understand and apply.

Before the portfolio starter pack, my portfolio was all over the place. Random samples, no clear story, just chaos. I had no idea what pieces to choose or how to present them in a way that actually said, this is what I'm all about.
Then I found The Content Design Co. and it totally changed the game.
