Case study evidence
Write a UX case study without inventing metrics
Explain design decisions when you lack analytics. Audit claims, show evidence, disclose limitations, and write a measurement plan without invented impact.
PRACTICAL NOTES, NOT SHORTCUTS
A little more clarity.
A little less guesswork.
Eight original design guides for the moments when a template isn’t enough. Read one, try something, and make a better-informed next move.
Portfolio readiness
A practical junior UX portfolio checklist
Review project selection, ownership, evidence, readability, and permissions before sharing a junior UX portfolio. Prioritise fixes over decoration.
Research practice
Run your first user interview with care
Prepare consent, neutral prompts, and a manageable conversation. Practise follow-up questions and turn interview notes into bounded, responsible evidence.
Design critique
A UI design critique checklist beyond visual taste
Review a screen against its task, hierarchy, states, and interaction requirements. Write prioritised critique that explains a risk and a next step.
Design communication
Present unfinished design work with a clear ask
Frame an early design review around a decision. Label unknowns, compare options, request useful feedback, and document what happens next without overstating progress.
Resume writing
Structure a product designer resume with honest examples
Build a readable product designer resume with clear sections, specific contribution statements, relevant projects, and evidence you can defend in an interview.
Accessibility handoff
A Figma accessibility checklist for design and handoff
Check contrast, content, resizing, and interaction annotations in Figma. Separate design intentions from accessibility behaviour that must be tested in code.
Design interviews
Prepare for a UX design interview without a script
Prepare evidence, project discussions, and collaborative exercises for a design interview. Confirm the format, practise honest answers, and protect confidential work.
