So you know you need a portfolio to land a UI/UX gig. If you are just starting out or it’s been a while, that can be overwhelming. Even if you have a portfolio, you may be wondering if it is doing all it can for you. As experienced digital product designers, we have some thoughts on the topic of design portfolios; how to make one and how to get the most out of it.

Inspiration

So where to start? How many projects do you need? What’s the best way to organize? There are lots of great resources available to you if you need help getting started or need some inspiration.

Topics:

• What challenges did you encounter?
• What did you do differently?
• What did you try that didn’t work?
• What did you learn?
• What did you accomplish?

On our site, we like to include the results of our projects. Hiring managers love concrete numbers that prove the value of your work, particularly in a creative area that can be hard to quantify. We state the metric, show our solution, and then show the result.
