We will evaluating a Junior UX researcher’s portfolio who transitioned from a UI/UX designer to a UX Designer in 2022. Saba Fathi is a currently a UX Researcher & product person who is very passionate about developing simple yet innovative experiences. We will evaluate the portfolio as a recruiter would when going through design application for a UX role. There are some obvious mistakes that I identified that one should avoid but overall a good portfolio for a Junior designer starting out.

Takeaways: 

• Ensure you have case study thumbnails that relate to the project and the type of platform you were designing for(App, web etc).
• Always use case study headings and subtitles that help the reader understand what the project is about
• If you show a design process, try to show how each step in the design process was conducted and how it flows into the next step
• Always show numbers for context and credibility. Number of testers, number of survey responses, etc.
