This is such a kind comment, thank you so much!!! 😊 I'm hoping to create more case study videos in the future for different types of projects because I know that crafting them from scratch can be really daunting. I'm so happy that the content is being helpful, and it motivates me to keep making more (especially on the days when I'm really tired from work). 😌

Aw, thank you! And you’re very welcome. I’m planning on adding more case study videos soon. 😊

Thanks a lot! I definitely crammed as much work as I could during the internship since it was mostly self-driven. Thanks for watching 😊 ✨.

Thanks so much Andres! Big fan of your channel so it's great to have you here 😊.

Thank you! I'm glad you found the content helpful and enjoyed the coffee trip. I'll had to add some more random laid back moments in future videos 😌 🙃.

So glad to hear you found the video helpful! Transitioning to product design from insights and research is such a strong combination, bonne chance!

@@rahpstudio merci mon ami!

Thanks you so much, that means a lot! 😊

Thank you so much @isivaasanaru5643 and good luck with your case study, you got this! 💪

Thank you so much for the positive feedback! I'm really happy that the videos are helping you get a sense of how to start your UX journey. 😊 I don't currently have a video specifically talking about how I learned the skills used to put the Adobe case study together, but perhaps I can make a series about all the projects that came beforehand. Thanks for the suggestion and good luck with your internship search!

Yeeesssss!!!! A real one ✨💛😎 OMG good luck, you got this!

Thank you! ✨

I love this idea and it's on my list of future videos, making my way to it slooowly haha

Aw, thanks for the kind words, it means a lot 🥹

Thank you so much! It's great to hear that what I'm making is resonating with folks, even the crazy parts like the coffee trip 😅, but especially because I'm making these videos in my spare time (which is not always easy with my day job) but the fact that they're making a difference in someone's life is definitely motivating so thank you for sharing that. 💛 About your portfolio, I think it's definitely important to show your personality through your portfolio, especially nowadays when most people use similar templates to showcase their work. Just make sure to not sacrifice UX principles in favor of aesthetics (like readability, usability, etc) so a happy medium between both would be a recipe for success. You got this! 💪

Yee for content creators like you, you're always gonna have a public that likes or dislikes your content no matter what you do. So the best you could do is to be yourself and create something that vibes with you and make you happy. Then the audience can only feel your vibe and passion through your videos 🌞💃 Thanks a lot for your super super helpful insights 💜 i feel more confident now about my portfolio. And yes ofc I'm very conscious of the ux principles so i keep iterating on my case studies to find the perfect balance. I was just feeling very vulnerable to show a part of me to HR public and apprehended their reaction. Thanks again 💜

Thanks, man! The hustle is real 💪

OMG thank you! It's so great to have you here :D And yesss, go Quakers!!! I think I mentioned this in another comment but I had to do all of my internships during school for that very reason. Some places hire interns that are not enrolled in school but most require you to be a student. Have you considered an apprenticeship? I have a video about it here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a79iZsihr7a4ZoE.html

@@rahpstudio omg so sorry!!! I thought I lost one of my comments so just re-wrote the same thing smh but realized it must have been on another video. Sorry to make you answer it twice. Thanks so much xx

OMG thank you!!! 🥹 I was definitely hustling hard at Adobe and the crazy thing is that nobody was supervising me, all of that was self-directed / initiated. 🤣

Thank you so much! I'm so happy to have you here and best of luck with your final year of college. 💪 🙌

Thank you!!! That's an interesting idea. What I would suggest is to keep the portfolio website simple and use it to showcase your visual and graphic skills primarily through your case study designs. Treat the website as a canvas for your work. If you think of it like a gallery, the website should take a step back and let your work shine, without drawing too much attention to itself. Another option is to create a more graphic-oriented slide deck for your portfolio presentation during the interview process. This approach would be especially effective if your audience is design-centric. However, it's not necessary because you can simply guide them through your website. Nonetheless, it offers a more focused alternative and requires less effort than creating an entirely separate website. I hope this helps! ✨

@@rahpstudio thanks! It does! That would save me time. I wanted keep my website graphic but I’ll convert them to slides.

I love this idea! I've actually been recording some of my keynotes at work to facilitate remote collaboration and global timezones. I actually got the idea from a video we made for an internal hackathon so this is a great tip and would also give hiring managers a glance into your personality. Also, it would help you stand out! 😎

@@rahpstudioayyyyyy alright bet we doing it!!! 🎉😂❤

Hi! I used Squarespace to create / host my portfolio (not sponsored 😉).

You're very welcome and thank you for being here. It's great to have you! 💪

Hahaha so true! I think back then I had 500 subscribers but there's so many of people now. 🥹 You're very welcome btw and thank for the support!

Great question! I would say that the main principles apply for both internship and regular job applications (things like storytelling, explaining your design rationale, etc). However, I would say that would change is the content that you would focus on. For example, for entry level roles you'll most likely be working on tactical projects under a broader strategy so you're case study would most likely reflect that type of work whereas for a more senior designer, the content would be more focused on strategy, management, influence, etc. So tldr; the format of the case studies will probably retain a similar structure but what you choose to highlight within the study should match the role / level that you're applying for (just like your resume). Hope this helps! :)

Thanks for taking the time to reply and for such a thoughtful explanation

Thank you! The floor lamp on the right is from Ikea and the other I thrifted. Maybe I should make a studio tour video at some point :)

Thanks, and yea that would be cool!@@rahpstudio

Thank you!!! I never renewed my Squarespace account so it’s inaccessible right now. 🤣 Definitely on my todo list for 2024

@@rahpstudio haha I guess it doesn't matter so much after getting a job anyways. Good luck with everything

@@gookanga Thank you!

Thank so much, I appreciate that!

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. This is a great idea, I will add it to my mind map of video ideas. Thanks for being here! 🙂

@@rahpstudio Thank you for replying to me and for the kind words 😊Your videos are very helpful!

Hi! I'm working on it, should have the link up in the new year on my Buy Me a Coffee page :) I will let you know once it's uploaded

You're very welcome! I'm working on it, should be up by the new year on my Buy Me a Coffee page :D I will let you know once it's up

Yeesss!!!!! That’s what I was going for 🥹

hahaha I'm glad you enjoyed the coffee trip! I'm definitely feeling more comfortable talking to the camera. Also, great to hear you're finding the content helpful because there's a lot more to come - so happy to have you here! 💛

Haha no worries, it's totally normal to be terrified! I was terrified when I left Architecture for UX design right after school but, with hard work and grit, you can make anything happen. Keep your chin up! 😎

This is a great idea! I'm hoping to add resources like this as I scale up the channel (my old website is not live right now).

@@rahpstudio How do i get your website? Can you please share Link?

Sorry, I meant my website is NOT live right now. I’m working on a new one, stay tuned! 😊

​@@rahpstudio No problem! It happens sometimes, and I'll keep following your channel.

If only I could have sugar and caffeine! 😭
