UX Portfolio Design › Chapter 7

Chapter 7 · In the book

Storytelling with case studies

Case studies are the bedrock of a UX portfolio. But hiring managers don’t want a blow-by-blow account of every project. They want stories.

Problems this chapter solves

Your case studies read like a process manual.

You don’t know how long a case study should be.

You can’t find a structure that works for UX work.

Readers can’t tell why the project mattered.

Your role in a team project isn’t clear.

Reviewers can’t see the thinking behind your work.

You can’t put a number on your results.

The skill a job asks for played only a small part in your projects.
