Phase 13 · Design Portfolio Strategy

Topics

Choosing Portfolio Projects

Part of the UI/UX Design Roadmap.

Summary

Selecting 3-4 projects that together demonstrate range — different problem types, different platforms, different stages of the design process — rather than several similar projects.

How to Learn This

  • 1Audit your practice work from this roadmap and identify which projects show genuinely different skills.
  • 2Aim for range: at least one research-heavy project, one visual-design-heavy project, one system-level project.
  • 3Learn to retire a weaker project rather than padding your portfolio with quantity over quality.
