Some takeaways from me:
• Loading Animation: Keep subtle and non-distracting animations; your loading animation is excellent.
• Text: Adjust the line length to avoid orphans and make key phrases impactful. Consider making text slightly bigger for better readability.
• Consider Separate Branding and UX Case Studies: Separate branding and UX design into different case studies to target specific hiring managers.
• Project Details: Provide specific details about your role, methods, and tools used in projects.
• Accessibility: Identify and address accessibility issues, such as low contrast text and inappropriate use of important statements in CSS.
• Survey Insights: Transform survey results into actionable insights rather than just presenting raw data.
• User Flow Justification: Justify the user flow with data from user interviews or research.
• Separate Sections: Separate user flow and branding sections to maintain clarity.
• Image Optimization: Optimize images for faster loading times.
• Consistency in Terminology: Use the correct terminology for wireframes and mockups. This will help hiring managers and recruiters understand what your knowledge area is.
• Broken Links: Ensure all links in the portfolio work correctly.
• Engage with Clients: Proactively reach out to potential clients with redesigns and usability improvements.

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 10+ 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.
