“This course is perfect and instrumental for me to start my UX portfolio. I’m so happy you are offering this now, since I have already completed the 3 main courses that will help me develop my portfolio, now I can focus on them again and make my case studies with a definitive guideline.”

“I can’t say enough how grateful I am for this portfolio class. Before this class, I spent a lot of time trying to backwards engineer the writing styles and structure from portfolios that I found, which were by students and experts. Now I have a reference point for how to present and write my portfolio content, and a greater understanding of why’s behind portfolio design decisions. Thank you! I’m excited that I can take this information and move forward with working on portfolio projects, knowing that I have the tools to present these projects in their best light.”
