Start
One honest starting point
Place yourself across visual, interaction, systems, research, and leadership. It takes one sitting, and you never do it again.
For designers who take craft seriously
Every job ends. Your record shouldn't.
Place yourself honestly, log what you actually ship, and build a track record that belongs to you rather than your employer.
- Your track record is yours to keep, export, and take anywhere
- One honest starting point, then the work speaks for itself
- Describe your week in plain language and let us do the filing

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. What you log and how your skills moved belong to you, and travel with you from role to role. When you are ready, share a page with whoever you like, on your terms.
- Yours, not your employer's: keep and export your full record at any time
- Share a clean page of your skills and the work behind them, at a link you control
- One continuous story across teams, managers, and jobs
- Walk into any review, or any new role, with proof you already own

Everything you need to level up
A loop that runs on the work you already do
Start with an honest read of where you are. Log the work as you ship it. Watch the record build itself.
Log
A record that builds itself
Note what you worked on as it happens. A sentence is enough, and it files itself against the right skill.
Move
Changes you agree to
When enough work points the same way, we ask whether a skill has moved. You decide, and the reason is kept with it.
Own
Proof you already have
Walk into any review, or any new role, with the work already written down and the story already told.

Where you are
All thirteen skills in one view
Craft, research, product thinking, collaboration, and the newer work of designing with AI. Place yourself once, then watch the record fill in as you log what you ship.
Start your growth planAI-powered
Describe the work. We do the filing.
Talk through your week the way you would to a colleague. We work out which skill it speaks to and draft the entry; nothing is saved until you say so.
- A conversation, not another form to fight
- Drafts come pre-filled and you review before anything is saved
- Built for the two minutes you actually have

I led the checkout redesign, ran three usability rounds, and shipped a 12% conversion lift.Tumbuhly AI
That reads like Interaction craft and Research practice. I have drafted an entry against both. Want to check it?How it works
From a blank page to a record of your craft, in four steps.
01
Create your workspace
Set up your profile, say what you are aiming at, and open your own set of skills.
02
Place yourself, once
Say where you are across craft, process, and leadership. This is a starting point, not a yearly ritual.
03
Log the work
Note what you worked on as it happens. A sentence is enough; we work out what it speaks to.
04
Agree what moved
When the work backs a change we ask, you decide, and the reason stays attached to it.
Questions
Before you start
Is this a performance review tool?
No. Reviews are a moment; growth is the work. Tumbuhly is where you keep the record, so that when a review comes round the answer is already written.
Can I use it on my own?
Yes, and that is the normal way to use it. You do not need a manager, a team, or your employer's permission. Your career, your pace.
Who owns my data and growth record?
You do. Unlike employer-owned review tools, everything you log and every change to your skills belongs to you. Export it whenever you like and take it to your next role.
Can I share this with a potential employer?
Yes. Publish a public page at a link you control, showing where you are and the work behind it. Nothing is shared until you choose to share it.
How often do I have to assess myself?
Once. You place yourself at the start so there is something to move from, and after that your skills only change when the work you logged says so and you agree. There is no quarterly form to fill in.
What does it actually track?
Thirteen skills across craft, process, and leadership, each on a five-rung ladder from Learning to Shaping. Every rung says what it asks for in plain terms, so you can tell where you sit.
