UX Portfolio: Dos and Don'ts for Your First UX Case Studies

Coming up with great first UX case studies for your UX portfolio (junior or senior) is a daunting task. Having reviewed hundreds of portfolios over the years, I can see the same mistakes across a variety of UX specialities and seniority levels. In this video, I'll give you a quick few tips on understanding what you're after better: the market, the end goal, what makes case studies great and what to do if you have no ideas of where to get started.

    Omg this is what I'm looking for! But I wish you could extend or have a separate video for Case study CONCEPT/ project TITLES, with relations to the relevant INDUSTRY that a person is going to apply for. And also what types of product will we produce? Its not necessarily apps and website but how to go for non-digital ones? That's my pain point now, I'm so lost. 😭🤧

    OMG, I have been reading your book and I was sooo lost on what type of case study to begin with (I'm basically on 23% of your book yet so I'm sure what you said in this video is in there) and you with this video have given me so much insight and I truly appreciate the time and effort you put in your book and also youtube, I really want to become a great UX Designer. btw I was so shoked to find out you were from Denmark, my Fiance is Danish too lol

    As long as you explicit about it being a conceptual or research case then you can. If you're aiming for UX jobs, make sure you cover user research and actually do proper UX, not just the ideation/UI mockups.

    I am a beginner UX design and I am still trying to get a hang of things. For the user research part, how many interviews or surveys would you recommend to be a good enough sample size to get a good idea about the user persona?

    Hi, nice video. Q: I'm in the mobile game industry and you know It needs to prove yourself that UX exists in this industry, How are you as Web UX looking at the UX portfolio that came from game industry? or it an unmixable teme. Also, it will be nice that you will talk about UX games... thank you!

    Hey, UX is UX. The more relevant the cases are for potential employer is the better, but if you have a mix of solutions that show that you do game experiences, maybe some apps or Web then you'd be in a good place.

    Hi Vy, I love your videos!!! and i need your opinión. I have a question but, it's on a different topic than this video. As is your most recent video, maybe I thought you might respond: *Is it possible that from my prototype when sharing the URL to some people, and they interact with a text field, the information they entered, can be saved in a database, inside or outside axure? . And the information is not overwritten with the information of the other people whom I shared the URL* I appreciate your observation, Thanks

    If you want to export the information then not possible, if it's just for the session to be stored before the browser is closed - sure. Axure is prototyping software only for interaction design, you'd need development work to do serverside supported features
