I've reviewed over 1,000 junior product designer portfolios in the last year as a Lead Product Designer looking to hire. I can say with 100% confidence having great portfolio case studies are the only thing that will get you a design interview.
Becoming a pro ux designer is all about showing your process. But your design process only matters if you can draw a straight line from a pain point, through to beautiful designs that address those pain points.
In this video, I show you how to structure the beginning, middle, and conclusion of your case studies to help you stand out and get that interview.
