Some takeaways from me:
• While Behance is visually appealing, it lacks depth for hiring managers. Consider a platform that allows for more detailed annotations and context.
• Metrics like views and appreciations on Behance don't add value for hiring managers. Focus on showcasing the quality and impact of your work.
• Ensure each project provides enough information about your role, the problem you were solving, and the process you followed.
• Add annotations or side notes to give context and highlight important aspects of your projects.
• Ensure all text is legible, especially on user personas and detailed descriptions. Avoid cramming too much information into one visual.
• Your visual design skills are strong, but make sure each project clearly states whether it's UX or visual/UI design.
• Make sure headings and structure are clear. Provide more context for your design decisions and user research.
• Highlight your thought process, from user research to final design. Show how you moved from point A to point B.
I hope you find these suggestions helpful, Olga! Your portfolio has great potential, and with a few tweaks, it can truly shine. Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to seeing your progress! 😊
• Consider creating a personal website or using a different platform that allows for more detailed project showcases and interactivity.

Hey Team! Today we have another in the series of Early Career Designer Portfolio Reviews, where I conduct a kind of UI assessment called a Cognitive Walkthrough. I review an early career designers portfolio and resume and give feedback for ways to improve it as they look for a job in the UX industry.
I'm a Sr. UX Designer with 10+ years of experience in UX design and a passion for helping early career designers as they make a career shift into tech. You can find out more about me at maigenthomas.com
Also, you can find out about me at www.patreon.com/maigenux where I hope you'll join an awesome crew of folks as I provide motivation and mentorship, build an apprenticeship agency to employ early-career designers and teach UX as I do UX.
