If I don’t have a lot of time to build my UX/UI portfolio, what should I focus on?

If you are dealing with time constraints when creating your portfolio, focus on delivering quality over quantity. Choose a couple of your best case studies that highlight your skills and experience. If you are using a website builder, take advantage of templates to minimize the time you spend designing the portfolio itself.

How do I include ideas that were not implemented in the final design?

Showing photos or screenshots of your process notes is a great way to show hiring managers your ideation process. This allows them to understand your ability to choose the best solution for the problem given real-world challenges and constraints.

What should I include in my UX/UI portfolio as a learner?

If you are a recent graduate or career switcher, your portfolio may not be as extensive as more seasoned UX professionals, but you can make up for a lack of case studies by following best practices when designing your portfolio. Focus on projects that are relevant to the position you are seeking. Make sure that the case studies you choose involve real-world constraints and business scenarios.

How many projects should I include in my UX/UI portfolio?

You might think that including numerous case studies from over the years is the best way to demonstrate the depth of your experience, but given the limited time hiring managers have to review portfolios, it’s best to narrow your portfolio down to only the projects that directly speak to the job listing. Including two incredible case studies is better than five or six less compelling options. When you’re narrowing down your projects, keep those that highlight your skills and competencies best.

What format should I choose for my UX/U portfolio?

When deciding on a format for your portfolio, check the job listing first. If a hiring manager specifies a format, that’s what you want to use. Cost and platform experience should also be considered in your decision-making process.

How do I showcase skills like teamwork and collaboration in my UX/UI portfolio?

When crafting your case studies, you can highlight collaboration with team members as it pertains to the project being featured. You can also create a skills summary section to spotlight these skills, being careful not to list too many, which can reduce its impact. Focus on the top skills required for the job.
