Core Idea: Design portfolios should highlight process, problem-solving, and impact, Not just visuals.
Key Practices:
Strong design portfolios focus on how you think, not just what you produce. Case studies can help tell a clear story of decision-making and design process.
Explain:
- Context / problem
- Goals
- Process (research, ideation, iteration)
- Final solution
- Results or impact
Include:
- 3-5 strong projects (curated, not exhaustive)
- Clear navigation and structure
- Your role and contributions
- Measurable outcomes when possible
Ask yourself:
- What problem were you solving?
- Why did you make specific decisions?
- What impact did your design have?
