Like any portfolio, a UX portfolio can be a great way to showcase your design work. But it’s difficult to know where to begin, and how to go about making a portfolio. Knowing the proper tools to create a UX design portfolio, having good inspiration for your portfolio, and of course, knowing how to use it can help solve this problem.
First things first, you need to know the tools to use for making your UX portfolio. These will make it much easier for you to start building your portfolio.
If you want to make a questionnaire, use google forms or survey monkey. If you want to make a flowchart, use Lucidchart or Microsoft Visio. (See more examples here)
Next, once you have the things to put in your portfolio, you’re tasked with actually designing your portfolio.
Looking at what other people are doing for their UX design portfolios can help you a lot with this. Find out what other successful people are doing and take inspiration from them.
Once you have your portfolio, it’s time to put it out to the world.
Tailor Your UX Portfolio to the Role, ask for feedback at your job interviews, and go through your UX case studies from time to time.
Having a portfolio is just a necessity, and this is why it’s important to have a good one. So long as you have the tools, the inspiration and the knowledge you need to use it to its full potential, you’ll be golden.
