This a review of Rachel Baek’s portfolio and one of her case studies. I chose this particular portfolio because Rachel was a teacher for 7 years before transitioning to UI/UX designer. Despite being entry level designer, her portfolio is presented really well and case studies have the perfect layout whether you are a UX designer or UI designer. I will show 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 clear project imagery and project headings to help guide recruiters and hiring managers
– A project summary upfront is critical because recruiters do not spend long on a single application among hundreds
– Breakdown your design process and specify what you did especially if it was a team effort
– Show before and after screens as your recruiter will not have as much project context as you do
– Showing handover process is great if you worked with developers
– Major bonus points for adding a prototype
– If you do not have results or the project is not launched yet, reflections are a great way to end a project
