Assess
Know where you actually stand
Structured self-assessment across visual, interaction, systems, research, and leadership. No more guessing your level from vibes.
For designers who take craft seriouslyCareer
growth,
measured.
Run honest competency reviews, set focused quarterly priorities, and build a growth track record that belongs to you, not your employer.
What makes us different
Designers own their growth track record.
Most career tools lock your progress inside a company's HR system, so it disappears the day you leave. Tumbuhly works the other way round. Your assessments, evidence, and progression belong to you and travel with you from role to role. When you are ready, share a snapshot with potential employers, on your terms.
- Yours, not your employer's: keep and export your full record at any time
- Share a clean snapshot of your competencies and evidence with potential employers
- One continuous story across teams, managers, and jobs
- Walk into any review, or any new role, with proof you already own

/loop
The growth loop is the product.
Reviews are a moment. Growth is the daily work of improving your craft. Tumbuhly is built around that work.
01
Assess
Honest competency reviews
Self-assessment across visual, interaction, systems, research, and leadership. See your level without the guesswork.
02
Focus
Quarterly focus plans
Pick two or three competencies per cycle and turn them into work you actually ship.
03
Evidence
A craft log that builds itself
Capture wins, feedback, and artefacts as they happen so review season is a summary, not an archaeology dig.
04
Track
Progress you can see
Watch competencies move quarter to quarter. Your growth becomes visible, not something you reconstruct from memory.
AI-powered
Seamless UX, guided by AI
Talk through your craft in plain language. AI turns unstructured notes into competency scores and evidence drafts you can confirm, edit, and save.
- Conversational assessments, not another form to fight
- Pre-filled drafts; you review before anything is saved
- Designed for flow: capture, refine, commit

Assess → Focus → Evidence → Track
Focus
Pick what moves the needle
Quarterly focus plans keep you from spreading thin. Two or three competencies, tracked with intent.
Evidence
Build the case as you ship
Log PRs, critiques, workshops, and outcomes as they happen. Review season becomes a summary, not a scramble.
Track
See your arc over time
Competency trends, focus completion, and logged evidence combine into a progression view that is actually yours.
How it works
From first assessment to a clear picture of your craft in four steps.
Step 01
Create your workspace
Set up your profile, pick your track, and open your personal competency framework.
Step 02
Run your assessment
Score yourself across craft, process, and leadership. Add evidence as you go.
Step 03
Set quarterly focus
Choose two or three competencies to push this quarter. Everything else waits.
Step 04
Grow with proof
Log wins weekly, watch your matrix update, and walk into reviews with your story already written.
Questions

Yes. Tumbuhly works as a personal workspace for self-assessment, focus planning, and evidence logging. Your career, your pace.

You do. Unlike employer-owned review tools, your assessments, evidence, and progression belong to you. Export them whenever you like and take your track record to your next role.
Can I share my competencies with potential employers?
Yes. When you are ready, share a clean snapshot of your competencies and evidence with potential employers, on your terms. Your record is yours to present.
