Junior UX Portfolios: Top 3 Things You Must Get Right
I don't need you to tell how hard it really is to come up with strong UX design portfolio, especially if you only got a UX Bootcamp or a few months (even years, really!) of commercial experience under your belt. Recently one of the viewers reached out asking about the top 3 things hiring managers typically look for in the portfolios. I decided to reframe this a bit to instead cover the three things that you must get right. These are fundamental and so are super relevant for all seniority levels.
Be sure to check out this video to better understand how hiring and design managers assess your UX portfolio here: https://youtu.be/AdWDjj01PlA
In this video, we will discuss the invisible yet foundational habits that can boost your UX career: help you grow and be much more effective at the research or design job.

Half a decade later, the new MacBook Pros are made for actual Pros. The majority of the recent changes are taking the product, service and customer experience to the next level (granted most of the features are tried and proven from years ago). In this video, I'll you through some of the key touchpoints that got me very excited (e.g. hallelujah moment and goodbye to the awful UX Macbook touch bars). Even with a heightened sentiment, there are also a few new developments that got the pros not so happy.

This time I've asked you to research and design a better way for customers and potential users to get the electric vehicles (EV). Because of the upcoming 2030 act banning any new petrol and diesel vehicles in the UK, the next decade will be an opportunity ridden for organizations and entrepreneurs to offer customers better ways to onboard in sustainable energy-powered automotive tech. This is also a perfect opportunity for strategists, UX researchers and product designers who want to produce a case study for future job opportunities.

This is a highlight from an insightful evening UX chat with a fellow design thinker, UX architect Sean McGuire.
UX and design thinking facilitation and workshop moderation is not about leading the room with the best ideas or most knowledge on the subject. In fact, it's the opposite, in this video, Sean explains why humility, genuine curiosity and being grounded makes for some of the most effective design leaders.

UX Chat is a videocast series with inspirational design leaders, where I try to dig what makes experience design practitioners effective. We will cover design thinking, new methods, design ops, UX, CX and many other topics.
