Thank you so much Aliena! I was literally having a mental breakdown because i've been trying to create my first UX portfolio but i didn't know where to start, this video was so helpful! 🥰

[@sofiahanashiro6495]

That was the best video I watched teaching how to build a ux portfolio. You turned something that seems to be so hard into a simple process (not necessarily easy). Thanks a lot, Aliena!

[@ruqayyahtajudeen]

Hi Aliena! Thank you so much for this! I remember the first time I came across this video. I was in a haste to watch it as I had to use Notion for an assignment and time was against me. It was helpful then and I got a good score. Today, coming back to watch this just made me realize I actually missed out some information. I'm currently using it to re-create my portfolio and it's coming out so well. Wish I could like the video more than once. Thank you once again!

[@AlienaCai]

Glad it was helpful!

[@uxcelwithaj]

I loved the effort of going step by step, each point clearly throughout the video which many lacks! Loved it! Already a fan seeing this first time now ngl

Thanks a ton

[@keishab8091]

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been trying to look at other YT videos and work on my portfolio at the same time and I promise I wanted to cry 😅. I love your content in general so I was so happy to see you made a step by step. Thank YOU! I finally have something that sorta resembles a portfolio now. Best UX video❤

I wasted so much time, money and energy on Wix 😤Notion is becoming such an essential tool and you literally made it from scratch in minutes 🤯Thanks for sharing your knowledge ❤

[@AlienaCai]

Glad it helped! Me too. I spent so much time on Squarespace. Wished I started from Simpler tool and gradually move to web builders.

[@Vinsomer]

I will never get enough of your UX porfolio videos, Aliena! Thank you ❤ Do you think it's possible if one day you break down even briefly, what goes into a project from beginning to end? Like every different person involved from UX designers, researchers, visual designers, product managers, copyrighters, front end, back end ect. The whole shabang, who does what and when, and how it ties in with agile development? I just feel like a lot of people who are still in the learning phase could benefit from seeing the full scope if they have no idea yet. Sorry if it sounds like a lot, thanks again for this helpful video! Saved to my portfolio playlist 😂

[@AlienaCai]

Thank you for the comment! And yes, I'll look into your suggestion. Sounds like a very valuable topic!

[@JMinUX]

Thank you so much Aliena! I learned a lot from your videos and tbh you are a GEM! As a self-taught baby designer struggling to figure out how to get started, I am grateful I found you!

[@HangLowKing]

Y'all keep in mind that if your using color alone like rrd for problem, that's an accessibility barrier for someone who can't fully perceived the color red. Also you all should only have 1 h1 on the page.

[@YvonneU.S]

Hi Aliena, thanks so much for this video. Can a Product Manager also utilize this template?

[@rewatipatil891]

Thank you so much for this Aliena. What if I have already published my case study in behance/medium and I want to add those in my notion portfolio.

[@AlienaCai]

Good question, not sure if there’s a fast way other than copy paste. However, for future project, you can use notion as the tool to draft and organize your case study before moving to another platform.

[@mirabelle0101]

Any chance there is a way to password-protect the portfolio? - but all in all: amazing! This is THE BEST format I have - so far - ever heard of! Why have I never come up with sth like this? You can create it fast, you can adjust it for different industries you are applying to (kinda personalizing still), you have no trouble sending out huge files, and you can even use it to present it on screen in kind of a presentation modus - I LOVE IT! Thanks.

Which one you prefer for portfolio design 1. Website builder - webflow, Squarespace 2. Notion *Which one attract recruiters.
