Some takeaways from me:
• Visual Enhancements: Incorporate more visuals in the case studies to make them more engaging and visually appealing.
• Improve Text Readability: Adjust text layout to avoid typographic issues like orphans and adjust line heights for better readability.
• Clarify Role and Skills: Provide a clear and concise description of your skills and roles to avoid confusion about your professional identity.
• Optimize Content Display: Ensure the website and portfolio display well on different devices, including mobile.
• Simplify Password Access: Avoid requiring a password for viewing work unless necessary, as it can deter potential employers or clients from viewing your content.
• Contextualize User Personas and Journeys: Explain why certain tools or approaches were used, such as user personas and user paths, to provide context and demonstrate purposeful design thinking.
• Detail the Impact and Outcomes: Clearly articulate the impact of your design changes, such as improvements in user engagement or satisfaction, and how these changes meet business or user needs.
• Use Concise and Impactful Language: Refine the language used in the case studies to be more concise and focused on outcomes and impacts rather than processes.
• Prioritize Information: Position the most critical and impactful information at the top of case studies to capture attention quickly.
• Feedback Loop: Encourage feedback on the portfolio and remain open to revisions based on constructive criticism to continuously improve the presentation and content.

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.
