are you afraid to look at your own portfolio?

You sit down to work on your portfolio only to realize you

  1. don't have any of the project assets you need
  2. don't remember what even happened on the project
  3. now are wondering how the heck you're going to summarize a 6 month project in a single case study!

Does this sound familiar?

You want your portfolio to stand out (in a good way). Showcase your strengths, expertise, and ultimately land that promotion, new job title, or position.

You know you have the UX skills and the projects to show for it and you know there's a way to present it all that feels GOOD — You just don't know what it is. And don't have the time to really get creative and sink your teeth into this problem.

After all you're solving other design problems during the day.

Your case studies seem like an obvious place to start with your portfolio.

But when you look at examples from other people, they haven't touched their portfolio in years.

  • You want to use your portfolio to showcase your career
  • You want to feel confident sending people to your case studies
  • You know when done right, your case studies can make an impact on hiring managers and your network

But what's the secret to your UX case study?

confidence

clarity

I created Camp Case Study to help you craft your case studies into the campfire stories you want to tell — all in three days.

Together, in Camp Case Study, we're going to focus on these 3 power areas:

  • Creative ways to organize your case studies so that they align with your work experience
  • How to tell a compelling story about your work so that hiring managers walk away with the point
  • Using visual elements to make sure that you're making the most of communicating

We'll also touch on:

  • Ways to handle private, incomplete, or "imperfect" projects
  • Walking through your case study during an interview
  • How your case studies can change over time and depending on roles you're applying to

It's going to be 3 days of case study fabulous-ness! You'll walk away thinking differently about your portfolio and excited about your UX career!

Case studies are stories

The purpose of a case study is to tell the story of your project and the work you did. It should have a clear beginning, middle, and end.

A lot of case studies I see are... boring. They don't have a clear direction; they don't share the messy aspects of what didn't work; and they leave me guessing what role the designer really had.

Imagine instead you walk into an interview and confidently talk through your project. The hiring manager is nodding along and points to some of your graphics to ask deeper questions. They turn to a colleague saying how they wish they had documented a similar project this way.

Who is AManda Worthington?

Hi! I'm amanda and I've been helping UXers with their careers since 2019

When I first worked on my portfolio, I found myself re-vamping it every 6 months — it would just stop feeling like ME.

I looked at what other UXers did and realized they just wouldn't update their portfolio... until it was time to look for a new job.

Making it a stressful, weekend marathon session instead of an intentional design challenge.

And so I help UXers:

  • Get clear on their career goals using their unique strengths and experiences
  • Design a portfolio that supports where they want to go in their UX career
  • Create space for new opportunities and be excited to update their portfolio with those opportunities
