What UX / UI Portfolio best practices can you share? Are you building your first UX / UI portfolio? Let us know if you have any portfolio related questions in the comments!

[madebyymira]

as a ux design intern, this was super insightful. making my portfolio was one of the most challenging and time consuming parts of the recruitment process, and you gave a ton of tips that definitely helped me be successful. cant wait to see more!

Can you do PLEASE PLEASE do a video just for a Visual Designer Portfolio? There's a ton of UX portfolio reviews out there, but not much of UI / Visual design :(

[MistaSmith]

I would conclude that many profiles, probably not just these three, focus too much on the UI and could use more User Research details. Thanks for a look into a hiring manager's brain.

The smile and very simple way of presenting is excellent. I am a UI/UX designer and I am learning every day.

"What am I going to change about my portfolio, " you ask? Almost everything. Haha. I haven't touched it in years and needed this great refresher as I step back into the market. Your feedback and comments match what I've heard other hiring managers say about what they're looking for. It'll be good to to back and hone my portfolio down to the essentials. Thank you!

I’ve always been interested in UX and UI work. I just started the Google UX Designer Certification but while watching this I’ve decided to make a plan, or goal rather, to have at least 3-4 projects per job role. So in total have 9 to 12 projects as a whole. So if I’m applying for a more UX designer role I will have 3-4 projects ready to showcase.

Interesting... the first portfolio makes me to close the screen as soon as I see the movement. I felt it was a very "child" feeling. But... in the end... taste is taste!

[MaxwellGravelle]

Great analysis and tips in this video. I can't wait to start making my portfolio

[Maxcollz]

Oh man i love the Celebration 🎉 blow effect in background thats so cool

I often hear the advise that portfolios and resumes need to be tailored to the company or person receiving them. While I totally understand this advice and think it's valuable I do struggle to see how I would be able to tailor my online portfolio? If I'm applying for many (potentially different) jobs I'm not able to to tailor my portfolio as if I keep changing my website I can't be sure that the person I've tailored it to is viewing the correct version before I change it and tailor it to another. Super keen to hear how it would be possible to tailor an online portfolio? Thanks and love the video!

The best information to get ready to work on eye catching portfolio.

Would be great if you guys made a video on how to do relevant mock projects. Considering it’s “not real”, how do you get/do user testing etc. How to do unprompted redesign for established business’ without being pretentious (seeing as you have no data to prove it needs a redesign).

Picking projects / what to actually put in your portfolio is the hardest part!

[raghadalqahtani]

You really made me understand what market needs, thank you so much. More of this please

[kalsariyakrupa]

As a UI/UX designer this video is very helpful.

[paullucci]

What am I going to change about my portfolio? Almost everything. Thanks for the help.

[achonuyoung]

Thanks for your explanations on ui ux designs layout and I really like your work well done interviewing manager.

[amichubby]

Good pretty hirer manager .. you're a better version of HR talent acquisition in my past 30+ years .. well done !!

[almudenadenoriega]

Thank you, thank you very much!
I'm making right now my first UI/UX portfolio (I have 15 years of experience as a graphic and visual designer trying to change to UX/UI world :)). I know I'm going dedicate hours to this and I have a question…
¿How can I change or adapt the words or the examples in my portfolio for each job application? May be it’s a silly question but I’m really not sure how could I do this.
I’ve seen that you have made three big portfolios’s block: UX version / UI version and UX/UI version… ¿Do you suggest to do three separate websites for this three versions?
Thank you very very much for all the outreach work you are
You are helping us a lot

[jattism]

Lots of great knowledge and feedback!!
