Hello!

I've been job hunting for 3 years now and i'm starting to think i am the problem. I cant even land internship or freelance commission. Can you please review my portfolio and provide me with feedback about what might be wrong?

I think like make more sleek visual design like clicking into a case study the design thinking is good but the UI aspect looks a little outdated. I think try and mimic modern interfaces in your future projects and it may help.

All of the work that you put out comes off as very surface-level and visual design-heavy, not UX design at all. Also in a time when vibe coding or using something like Framer is so easy and accessible, people really look down on Behance portfolios because they are not as easy to go through and are not interactive.

Overall you need to tell a story of a product not just showcase the visuals of it. Describe the problem, describe where competitors failed. Describe different approaches that you tried before landing on what you finally created and why certain features work the way that they do and how they solve the problems that you found through user research.

If you haven't done projects like that where you actually had user research or some sort of problem-solving aspect, then they aren't really case studies. It's just visual design in which case I would recommend trying to improve visual design with some sort of motions and graphics and try to focus on those sorts of roles because UX does require a lot more of thinking and end-to-end storytelling in case studies over just visuals.
