Today we evaluate a UX portfolio from a designer who transitioned from being an Educator to Product design. Before Hana Nakano found her passion for product design, she spent the majority of her 20s as a classroom teacher but I realized that life’s too short to stay in her comfort zone. This is not a great case study but there is plenty to learn from it.
As usual I will highlight what UX recruiters and UX hiring managers look for when evaluating such a portfolio using emojis to indicate my emotions.
Let’s begin.

Takeaways:
- Use project thumbnails that help the recruiter understand what platform the design was for.
- Ensure contact details and resume are easily accessible.
- Be explicit in explaining how research is conducted, who was involved and what the findings are.
- Try to explain how the design improves metrics
- Show your portfolio to two people to double check the case study.
