CASE STUDY BASICS: Question: Who is your audience? - design managers, recruiters Skillsets: 1) product thinking - define and solve problems, high impact 2)visual design - visual polish, typography 3) interaction design - create intuitive, easy to use products 4) leadership/ownership 5) data/ux research HOW TO STAND OUT: 1) good visual design 2) don't use cookie-cutter frameworks that don't have a narrative (bootcamps) 3) talk about "why" and "how" 4) consider leaving out personas 5) write with a narrative framework 6) concise paragraphs, minimal font styling UX CASE STUDY TEMPLATE: 1) title 2) project overview - project summary - your role and duration 3) the problem 4) goals 5) design process DESIGNING: 1) have best designs on top of the page 2) 80% of high fidelity mockups 3) show design process with amazing visuals 4) show breadth (user flows, journey maps) and depth of work (zoom in on final designs)

Love this video! I’m using the same approach with the story arc, so I’m glad to see that designers in different sides of the world align 💪❤️

[@dayap3194]

This is probably the best video I’ve seen on case studies so far! I’m loving the simplicity and the tips ❤️

[@harshibar]

Loved this walkthrough, it was so thorough! And a lot of these tips are helpful even for PMs, like focusing on the 'why' and 'how' instead of the 'what'.

This came out right when I needed it! Thanks Christine :) Follow up question for this video -- What's the best way for designers to bring up the awkward question of asking for permission to display metrics and live work on their portfolio to their manager? I've always struggled with this because it's essentially a sign that you're looking to leave the company since you're working on your portfolio.

this WAS very helpful because i've done product design before and the truth about it is, it's a TON of back and fourth with users and sometimes even negotiating with the business and stakeholders when you might need to try and change a process with in a business in order for functionality to work. I wasn't sure if i should include all of that in my story with in my case study but now i think ill include the highlights

[@ketoweightloss9825]

Thank you! I've been thinking my portfolio didn't have enough written content. Most of the time, being a creative thinker, ideas just pop up and I can't really explain it. How do you explain epiphanies, you can't. Research, research, research, then light bulb moment 💡. Other times there's just happy accidents, or better ideas that just happen while I'm working on a high fidelity/ interaction. I can start with one simple thing, then I add more as I go. Honestly, I don't see the point of making low fidelity Greyscale Wireframes when I know how to design. It seems better to sketch on paper, then get to the real design to do real usability testing.

[@ArianaEvans-vf7rc]

Hi! I know this may be a dumb question, but where is a case study typically built? Is it like a website? Or is it a google slides presentation? That is the one piece of information I can't seem to figure out haha. Great video by the way! By far the most helpful one I have come across

[@aleksandrakalinichenko994]

Hello fellow designers! I have been really struggling with the topic for my first UX design case study, maybe you have some ideas of what I can do?
