As a UX manager, I totally agree with all the great stuff in this video! I was recently laid off and I'm starting to ponder a portfolio redesign myself and this just helped confirm that yes, my portfolio should be redone. My struggle comes in the form of not being a visual designer, so I always look at other portfolios and they're beautiful...I look at mine and I'm like "It gets the job done". 🤣
Thanks for the feedback Brandon! I totally resonate with you, with the struggle of not being a visual designer and feeling my portfolio never looks good enough. 😭 One thing I learned is to shift my mindset, and embrace the value of the broad skillsets as a UX designer. In portfolio, perhaps we can also highlight the critical thinking, design process, collaborative problem-solving, and impact. On the other hand, getting inspired by other beautiful portfolios and try to improve the visual aspects of mine. Although it probably will never be as beautiful, I find it's fun to learn visual design and see the progress even baby steps. 😊
