How to get more UX experience
You can’t “design” your portfolio until you know the content you are designing. And this is why you will write your projects first. This process forces you to focus on the content first, the most important part of your portfolio. Bad content will not help you get interviews.

- The 7 part case study formula
- The 3 steps to write your case studies
- Outlining the story of each project
- Understanding what details matter to the reader
The design of your portfolio matters, and even if you aren’t a visual design, you can still have a professional looking portfolio. It’s about understanding how to find the balance of text and images, layout your content, and create a scannable portfolio.

Your portfolio is only the beginning. It’s one thing to have your portfolio finished, it’s another to know how to talk about it in interviews. It’s a communication tool, not a script. Once your portfolio is finished, it’s time to consider your strategy for the job search and interviews.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don’t have many projects to show?
Do you offer refunds?
Yes, if for whatever reason you’re not 100% happy just send an email within 7 days of purchasing to me at hello@sarahdoody.com and I’ll refund you.
What if my role isn’t visual (eg. researcher, IA, etc.)?
Honestly, it is possible to show your work with visuals. It might not be pixel perfect designs, but you can show your process and let people peek behind the scenes.
What if I don’t know how to code?
Good news, coding is not required. In fact, I recommend you start with a portfolio in either Keynote or PowerPoint. So, no need to learn to code today.
How much time commitment are we talking about?
If you want results, you have to put in the work. Students spend about 5 hours a week for a month working through the lessons and activities.
