Your portfolios are fucking boring.
Sincerely, every design hiring manager out there
We are designers.
We are supposedly the creatives that will help solve problems with creativity. We are the jack-of-all-trades; adaptable and witty, ready to take on any task.
And yet, we can’t make unique portfolios even to save our lives.
“What is up with all these cookie cutter portfolios?”
I lamented in my head. I was reviewing maybe my 12th junior bootcamp graduate portfolio that day and needless to say, I wasn’t having a good time.
While I am happy to complete the first dozen of portfolio reviews for my students, frustration swept over me knowing that all in that dozen should re-do their portfolios.
I am a junior UX designer passionate about solving problems!
What problems?
I created a persona to reflect the target users of the application.
For what?
Here is a prototype that shows you the solution flow.
No interaction design?
I quit being a bootcamp mentor that same week.
