Portfolio tips: Crafting compelling case studies

Mitchell Clements, Senior Product Design Manager at SimpleNexus

In a field that celebrates creativity, individuality, and personal taste, it’s ironic that roughly 85% of design portfolio case studies look nearly identical. And they’re not working. Nope, definitely not working for the hiring managers!

So, how do you make your portfolio stand out and get the attention of a hiring manager?

Why not hear from the expert himself!

As a design hiring manager who has reviewed hundreds of portfolios, Mitchell Clements has observed recurring patterns that he has classified into 5 distinct levels.

Understanding these levels will enable you to identify where your portfolio is at, and why designers at levels 4-5 are consistently landing interviews, negotiating better compensation and ultimately securing job offers.
