Strengthen Your UX Design Portfolio to Unlock Opportunities
Requirements
- Basic to intermediate knowledge of UX and Interaction Design, although not required.
- Having a portfolio helps, but a desire to learn is just as important.
Description
In this course you will learn a framework that you can use to craft and test your portfolio in 2-5 days. The course helps you decide which information to include and which one to leave out from your portfolio. But I'm also teaching you strategies and techniques on how you can come up with your own creative and strategic ideas.
First we'll start by understanding where you are and where you want to go. We’re going to look at how you can utilize a mix of existing skills, strengths, critical thinking to bridge the gap between where you are, and where you want to grow.
Then, we’ll analyze what are the building blocks of a great portfolio, giving you a clear perspective on what matters for a project in a portfolio, and why.
Finally, we’re going to send that portfolio out there for critique. I'm going to give you an inside look into my techniques, methods, and strategies on how to connect with design experts and mentors to get feedback and iterate your portfolio to the next level.
By the end of this course you have created a strong portfolio that has solid projects, and a clear perspective on how to unlock opportunities faster.
It’s going to be a lot of fun! So what are you waiting for? Let’s get started!

I'm a product designer driven by curiosity, who thrives at the intersection of experience design, strategy, and human connection. I craft digital products that are easy to use.
I fell in love with design while studying people's needs and seeking behavior for many years, and realizing that the intersection of those fields is the thing that really excites me. Since then, I've had a multitude of experiences working with companies from Canada, Eastern Europe, and US defining their digital strategy, design and product direction.
I'm not an artist. I'm a problem solver, and a good part of my work is about understanding people's needs, and exploring the limits of design's ability to solve their problems.
These days, I work with product teams in San Francisco to help them learn from their users and turn those insights into products people love to use.
