UW HCDE (Human Centered Design & Engineering)
Creating professional portfolios - specifically, the kind you bring with you to a job interview that discusses a few projects in depth, rather than many projects in breadth.
Includes:
- Top 10 UX Portfolio Questions
- How to Tell a Story
- Examples of Portfolios and Presentations
These are the slides for my Lightening UX Lisbon talk around User Experience people selling themselves better. There is a deeper focus on portfolios which are 80% bad in my experience, but not just for new jobs. See more at www.betteruxportfolios.com.

ABSTRACT
Whilst the work we do is not meant to be hanged on a wall for people to admire, nor is meant to be put in a drawer and forgotten about. Just as we make the products and services we design easy to use, the UX of UX is about communicating your thinking in a way that ensures that what you've defined is easy to understand for the reader. It's about adapting the work you do to the project in question and finding the right balance of making people want to look through your work whilst not spending unnecessary time on making it pretty.
Who is it for?
This workshop is suitable for anyone starting out in UX, or who's worked with it for a while but is looking to improve the way they present their work.
What you'll learn
In this hands on workshop we'll walk through real life examples of why the UX of UX deliverables matter. We'll cover how who the reader is effects the way we should present our work, both on paper and verbally, and how to ensure that the work you do adds value. Coming out of the workshop you'll have practical examples and hands on experience with:
// How to adapt and sell your UX deliverable to the reader (from clients, your team, in house and outsourced developers)
// Guiding principles for creating good UX deliverables (both low and high fidelity)
// Best practice for presentations, personas, user journeys, flows, sitemaps, wireframes and other documents
// Simple, low effort but big impact tools for improving the visual presentation of your UX deliverables
Tips on how to make your UX Design portfolio impressive by demonstrating your UX skills, strong understanding of User, adding value to business and team while being results-oriented and at the same time making your story compelling to your target audience.
What UX is, how it works and why it matters. Train your teams to recognize and strengthen the links between customer experience indicators and your overall business performance. Learn how to work with your customers to design successful products, services and experiences.
How to build a great user experience design portfolio and tell stories that get you hired. By Troy Parke and Patrick Neeman, presented at the Seattle Information Architecture & User Experience Meetup. Thanks Misty Melissa Weaver!

A word “design” has a very broad meaning and is used in nearly every business or industry. We always have an intuitive awareness of what this is about though. But when we talk about UX and UI design terms, everything is getting a lot more complicated.
What is UI UX design? Is it a generic term? Or UX and UI are two separate concepts? If they are autonomous notions, so why are they always used together? In this article I want to answer all your questions concerning this topic.
https://spdload.com/blog/ux-vs-ui-design/
Not quite sure what UX/UI design are? You're not alone! This presentation answers some commonly asked questions regarding user experience and user interface.
The terms UI and UX (design) are very often and
used as a single term by many people or designers.
The first thing we need to know straight is that UI
and UX are not the same.
Design is a rather broad and huge term. When
someone says “I’m a designer,” it is not that clear
what they actually do. There are a number of
different responsibilities term designer. There are
many aspects of design now a days.
Day 2 slides from a two-day workshop on UX Foundations by Meg Kurdziolek and Karen Tang. Day 2 covered research methods that can be used throughout the design process to evaluate and validate design.
This presentation was made by me for a basic level UI and UX training in my company. The presentation has also been designed from a UI and UX perspective and has been kept minimalistic. The presentation also contains several other important topics like the work culture in my company, Our process of developing a presentation and a short brief on E commerce platforms.

Give your clients support they need through better UX and toolsMarek Sotak
30 out of 30 questioned subjects (any size companies to individuals) don't have any proven solution nor process how to handle support. They have tried screencasting, making thorough manuals with screenshots and many more. Most of them didn't even consider offering a documentation, instead they just gave up and provided a phone number for the cost of being stuck on the phone, while they could be doing something more meaningful.
We will look at how small UX changes can change the users perception, what tools there are that can help us and our clients. Making our clients happy and us too.
Marek, the founder of INLINE MANUAL and long time Drupal developer have faced the same problems while building Drupal sites and one day he decided to fix this problem. During the time while he was looking for a solution, he interviewed many companies and individuals, gathered quite a lot of valuable feedback and insights into processes of others.
Startup UX: A story of tradeoffs and constraintsClint Schnee
Every startup has to stay lean to stay alive. Lean startup methods require a lean UX approach. If you are wondering what a UX (user experience design) process might look like for a small, scrappy startup, this talk is for you.
Listen in while Clint walks us through the first 18 months of design in the life of a young startup. It’s a story of tradeoffs, high risks and cut corners in exchange for speed.
What you will take away:
• why design tradeoffs are a requirement for startups
• what a good, thorough ux process might look like
• what it actually looked like (for one startup)
Too busy to learn UX methods that can save you tons of time?
Wondering which UX techniques are most likely to provide useful results all along your project? Let's talk about some tactics we tried. Success stories and epic fails of methods we have tested to build digital products and interfaces consumers love to use.
This presentation covers tips and tricks for game developers and covers a little bit of everything for both work for hire developers, as well as those creating their own IP.
In the Emirates, the UX interview is always a surprise as we really never know what to expect! Sometimes our interviewer is not a UX Designer. But what if he or she is a UX Guru?
The goal of this presentation is to discuss the best way to make you ready and rock at your next UX interview!
In order to get there, we'll talk about:
• The UX Role and types of UX roles
• The interview and a few suggestions on do's & don'ts
• The Recruiter's point of view
• The Candidate's point of view
• What are you really looking for in a UX job?

Better Versions of Themselves: Unifying UX and Product with the Job Story (U...Adam Breen
People don't buy software (or products generally) - they buy better versions of themselves. As UXers we deliberately empathise with customers to better understand their mental models. Product managers have a similar enquiry. Oddly, the mental models in each camp don't often seem to reference each other - although they should!
In this presentation, I talked about how the Jobs To Be Done (JTBD) framework can be a powerful lens for focusing on those touchpoints that offer the greatest leverage in building a product that people really want to buy, and waxed lyrical about important lessons I've learned in my own startup, and from magnificent mentors like Bruce McCarthy.

Partnering with Key Stakeholders in UX Strategyuxhow
Before your work will ever reach the end users you are designing for, there is another audience: stakeholders. As a User Experience (UX) professional, you need to partner effectively with product owners, engineers, executives and other key stakeholders.
While telling your UX story during an interview, you will be asked questions. Most of these may be “no correct answer” type questions. Not necessarily brain teasers or puzzles, but very open-ended. Why do UX Managers (and other interviewers for UX roles) ask overly broad, hyper-detailed or just seemingly random questions? What are some strategies for answering them?
