Como criar um portfólio de UI/UX

Hey Cody, Thanks so much for sharing. So overall everything seems pretty solid. The first thing I’d think about, I notice there are different projects on your bechance site vs. your website. It looks like everything on bechance is more up to date and your website is older work. I’d suggest updating your website with the newer work from Behance, a hiring manager will probably look at both and you want to make sure both reflect the same skill level.A quick note about your website, if digital and print is still two areas you want to work in, that’s great (especially if you’re doing work on the side in print and it’s making you money). If you’re trying to focus on digital, I would remove most of the print work, maybe keep only your most engaging print project. In terms of a hiring manager, they’re only going to be hiring you for digital products (again unless you’re doing your own stuff on the side). So for your projects in Bechance, I notice you’re calling yourself “product designer” not a ux or ui designer, which is great! I do that as well, but that’s going to be the focus for how I talk about the work you’ve displayed. Product designers need to have a balance between visuals, process, business strategy, some branding, and research. Visuals: You’ve definitely hit the mark here, your visuals are pretty strong in all of your bechance projects, no real suggestions. Just keeping improving as always. Process: Your process overall is good, it’s not just a visual design portfolio, I can tell thought went into the projects. Some areas that I think are missing a bit is some examples of work a little early on. You’re definitely correct in making almost everything high fidelity in terms of visuals, but I think adding some low fidelity thought work (notes, wireframes, sketches etc…) would really benefit you. It will help highlight your process more clearly. Instead of having to read about your process, I can see it very easily as I glance the page. That being said, definitely format low fidelity work well, but I think you have that covered. Business Strategy: Personally, this is an area I think product designers really differentiate from UX designers, it’s VERY powerful to talk about a business plan/strategy for a product. It shows that you have an understanding of both the user….and the needs of the business. I’d think your work would benefit from adding some more of this type of thought in places. Branding: You’re also good here, I think you’ve added just enough branding thought to prove you know how to correctly use a brand, but not so much that you’re only a brand designer.Research: So with research, no one should expect product designers to be experts, but I do expect to see that you have SOME familiarity with interviews or any kind of testing for the products you’re designing. Adding some examples of testing you’ve completed will help add credit to your products. When you do, it’ll no longer be about if I agree with your design decisions…..it will be about if your users did. Make the WHY for you design decisions super clear and easy to understand. It helps to try and do this with visuals….no one likes to read. Think quotes, pics from testing, video interviews etc…. If you’re reading any of this and thinking….I had this stuff in there why did he give me feedback on it….it’s probably just because it wasn’t very easy to find. No one is going to read everything in your portfolio, I didn’t, but I more time than a hiring manager would. So if you’re thinking that about any of this, you probably just need to add some kind of visual for it, and make it easier for the person looking at your work to find it. Anyways, I hope this is helpful. Thanks again for posting. Best, Matt

Can you guys provide feedback on my portfolio? I worked on implementing best practices from this class but it could always use fresh sets of eyes!&nbsp;
Thank you, everyone!&nbsp;
