I need to create portfolio to show my ability to design end-to-end user experiences with examples of design proposals, scenarios, use cases, interaction flows, wireframes, UX architecture, visual designs and specifications. I am looking for guidance and examples for how to create an interesting portfolio.
You already have all the tools you need; you just don’t realize it yet.
The first step is to take a step back and re-imagine the problem space. Getting work to put a roof over your head and food on the table would seem to be the most basic way to see the problem and solution. This doesn’t really require whiteboarding and blue-ocean strategy. But the next step is always harder, and I think most of us approach it backwards, as if every UX method, process, activity, and deliverable we ever did was wiped from our memory like Jason Bourne, leaving us quivering and alone, armed with all these tools but no understanding of who we are. If we simply reframe our career as a design problem, we can use design thinking to generate a possible solution, the portfolio being the tangible manifestation of that solution—a deliverable, but not an end in itself.
