You are sitting on a portfolio that might already be ready. The problem is that you have been told UX design is either heavy research or stunning visuals, and because your work does not match those extremes, you feel stuck. In this video, I break down the most impactful part of what UX designers actually do, using an example you use every single day. By the end, you will know exactly how to go back and find stories in your existing work that the industry is actually hiring for.
What you will learn in this video:
✅ The real reason your portfolio feels incomplete, and why it is a misconception
✅ What actually happens between a user opening an app and completing a task, broken down step by step
✅ The difference between user goal, user journey, user flow, and user experience explained with a common sense example
✅ What affordances, signifiers, and feedback mean, and why every UX designer designs these whether they realise it or not
✅ How research and visual design are tools that serve interaction design, and why they are never the core job
✅ Exactly how to go back to your existing projects and find the stories that make your portfolio recruiter-ready
