UX Portfolio: Ideas to Make Strong Case Studies - Design Tool Tuesday, Ep60

[@mrinalkale6289]

Also, designers can either buy the 'Solving Product Design Exercises' book or subscribe to their newsletter. If you subscribe, you will receive design problem statements in your mailbox every week. Those statements are interesting and one can create a good case study for their portfolio :)

Solid video! 👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Case studies are something I am working on improving on in my own career, even as a Sr UXer.

Yassss!!! Thanks for this gold! This couldn’tve come at a better time! I am in the process of re-doing my portfolio, and my company does have NDA so I can’t showcase big projects from 3 years of working there.

I'm in the midst of a UX/UI bootcamp and wanting to dive into my own side project-- I am thinking of an app to help military veterans cope with trauma not solely based on combat-related issues. How do I know if my project is worth tackling or would be of value when presenting my case study to potential employers?

[@vaexperience]

Don't start with a solution in mind. Instead, talk to the veterans first. Do deep user research; a new app or a new UI of any sort is not what people need as there are plenty of those around. See where else can UX add value, it could be non-digital, but it all has to be solving real issues and pain points the veterans deal with. From a hiring perspective, if a case has a lack of discovery, real user research, then it's not UX, but UI with trying to find a fit in the marker. 99% of the cases are like that, and that's why a lot of people struggle to get jobs in UX.
