Some takeaways:
* Make sure your portfolio case study is clear about what you can do and what you bring to the table. It's a nice for hiring managers to get at-a-glance information on the types of methods you know and the work you can do.
* Visual skills can be augmented with the type of portfolio you build. Leverage what is provided by templates in Webflow if your skills aren't as refined as Winston's are.
* Watch out for the urge to add visuals for the sake of adding visuals. There are a couple of decorative images on this case study that don't truly help the reader understand their meaning. Are they necessary?
* You might find it helpful to create a short, tight "you can read this in 3 minutes" kind of teaser case study and direct people to a more thorough case study if they're interested.
* Double check - triple check! - your content. Especially if you've refined it down to fewer words, those words need to have more meaningful impact to the overall case study.
* I highly recommend Jeff White's UX Storytelling course: uxstorytelling.io
Love the work, excited to see you succeed, Winston!

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 9+ 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.
