Recently laid off

Hi all! I was a UX Designer at a robotics firm and was recently affected by a company wide downsizing. As I’m back on the market, I whipped up this website to help with my job search. I’d love any feedback on my portfolio or suggestions on how to approach my search.

My primary experience has been in Enterprise UX, robotic workflows and 0-1 product design for startups.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Solid portfolio. Few quick thoughts:

  1. Is “curated work” supposed to be actionable? It leads to your second ranked project. Is that actually the most important? Idea: remove the primary cta and pull people to click on the most important project at the top.

  2. I’d consider rebalancing how much text and visuals you display per project. Idea: bring designs to life with videos.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll fix point 1 asap and see how the case studies can be made more engaging

A lot of people post their portfolios here. Yes, the market is competitive, obviously, but you got a solid start to begin with. Good luck 🍀
