I used your UX Case Study to create my own, and it was super helpful! But during interviews I noticed interviewers get confused between the "we" (what the product team did) and "I" (what you did). So I decided to use just "I" everywhere, to avoid possible weird bias they might have.

@ShaunTungseth 11 ай бұрын

It's important in interviews to frame statements as "I" instead of "we" as much as possible. This helps to clarify specifically what your impact was. They are considering hiring you, after all, not the entire team you worked with.

@ShaunTungseth 10 ай бұрын

@@unplugged301 Yes. Anywhere that you are describing the impact that you had. If it was something you did, take credit for it by saying "I". If you did something with someone else, give the proper credit by being more specific, like "The product manager and I..." Just saying "we" is ambiguous and doesn't say how many people were involved. So it doesn't tell what level of impact you actually had.

Hi, Mizko! This is Eva Yu, from your very own Designership program. I just wanted to thank you for the designership program and all the fantastic videos you created on KZfaq. I have put your teaching many, many times into my own design process. They are down to earth and could be implemented right away. After taking your Designership program, I created a design system for the start-up I worked for. I'm again learning from you to present a Case Study in my interviews. They all worked like magic. Thank you, I regard you as my mentor and look forward to your product design course. 😉

Not the identical dribbble shots that look the same and lack any brand identity. That's just people copying generic templated designs. I'm taking about original, quality design work and a understanding of design systems, brand etc. We get people all the time in interviews who can't do basic design...

Are you referring to interviewees being unable to bang out good UI designs, or are you referring to their ability to solve problems using their designs? What design systems are you looking for them to understand? Thank you if you end up replying.

I think this is solid efficient stuff that's important to be implemented throughout each design portfolio. Only thing I disagree is the titles you made for the process. While "Objectives" and "Conceptualize" work well, "Design" is a wrong impression to use for step 3, because all this process falls under Design and the Designer role. I think I would name it "Implementation" or "Articulation" or "application" or anything suggesting an execution functionality, because it stands for executing all the learning we did prior to that... As all designers know - "Design is an application of intent..." Wdyt?

Interesting suggestions, thank you! A riff on one of the final points…being unable to share the details of that case study here because they're "quite confidential", how (or are you even) able to share those details in a presentation with another company where I'm assuming there's no contract signed beforehand securing confidentiality amongst all participants? I often worry about someone taking screenshots or otherwise capturing some of that confidential data. I find password protecting case studies or portfolio pieces just as ineffective/insecure.

Hi Mizko! Thank you (once again) for this extremely helpful template! I have a few questions and was wondering if you could help answer them 1) Is there a difference (in terms of content volume) between what is presented in this presentation deck VS case study on portfolio website? 2) Would it be safe to assume that it is not necessary to present empathy mapping, user persona, HMW statement, sitemap/user flow/task flow, low/mid/hi fidelity wireframes, style tile, UI kit, usability test plan, prototype as they would Overwhelm the reader? Would it depend on who the audience is (e.g. client, recruiter) 3) Given that I am preparing a fictitious case study for my portfolio, what kind of "outcomes" should I include? Thank you so much!

@Mizko 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Sada! Great questions. 1. Yes! People browsing a portfolio online and listening in a presentation have different expectations, attention spans and intents. You need to consider those when crafting the two. 2. It really depends on what was most insightful and actually worth presenting in the case study. Far too many UX designers throw in every artifact into their case studies and making it a 40 minute presentation. It's far too overwhelming. Focus on the juicy insights and you can bundle up everything else into one slide if it's not worth talking about. The employer just needs to know you've done it, but you don't need to dive deep into it. 3. If it's a fictions case study, can't you come up with a fictions outcome? haha. If you want to legitimatise it, focus on something you have control over. Eg. User testing results.
