Portfolio updates are the bane of my existence, but I like how you do it in phases and that's a great tip so you don't panic when you need to show hiring manager at a moment's notice. It's so easy to get in the pitfall of making the portfolio perfect, but it really is important to think in a MVP mindset.

yess T.T so many wasted hours designing and redesigning... In a way, I think I was using it to procrastinate working on my case studies as well >.

Awesome video!! Would love to see a video where you program everything from start to finish please! :D

I'm working on updating my portfolio all day today and just saw your new video doing the same thing. I was going through all of these mistakes you talked about, plus I was learning to make some simple animations to my case studies which is driving me crazy😂 Love your new portfolio btw

[@charlicheung]

thank you so much ^^ good luck on your portfolio too!

[@yazzyxx]

i love your videos so much! I want to get into UX design, I'll be a senior in high-school so I've been doing a lot of research and you've been a big help

[@charlicheung]

so happy to hear you've been enjoying them!!

[@melleedunn]

omg I would love it if you consider making a future video exactly how you host your website in more detail. I'm in the process of trying to figure out a new host method and would love not to go through something like squarespace if possible lol.

Hi Charlie, I'd love to hear more about your degree and your recommendation for future ux career and learning how to code etc :)

[@NightRaven67]

I know you said you used Figma to create your portfolio but did you use a website like notion or wix for your website?

[@carogitter9587]

if the vector drawings are actually really good and show more than just a image without any thought. why would you not add them? or are they like this oneliner doodles from art students?

[@ajoanaverde]

What do you think about a simple wordpress portfolio for those of us that dont know how to code?

[@charlicheung]

Yeah, that sounds fine. Simple is good ^^
