Product Designer at Accolade · AI SaaS · Building for multifamily real estate
19,247 followersHow I created my UX Portfolio from scratch ↴ This post covers: building case studies + choosing the platform. (📠Resume tips coming in upcoming posts!) 👉 The first time I built my portfolio, I had no design background — just the Google UX Design Certificate I finished in 1.5 months, and 3 case studies (all hypothetical). 👉 The second time, I had some real experience — and updating it led to my first Product Design role. 💼 Here’s what actually helped me: ✅ 3 solid case studies Doesn’t matter if they’re hypothetical problems 🖥 Web design 📱 Mobile app 🌠Different industries + different approaches Even while freelancing, I chose projects that helped me grow & build versatility. ✅ Choose your platform wisely You can go for Behance or Dribbble — but I strongly recommend creating your own website. It makes you stand out. I used Wix — no code needed, super flexible, cheap domain. (Con: not super responsive on tablets — but worth it.) ✅ Research + take notes Google: “Top 20 UX Portfolios 2025â€. Open 20–30 of them — don’t just read case studies. 📸 Screenshot everything you love: footers, testimonials, cover banners, page layouts, even animations. Look at their: • Brand color, logo, minimal or bold style • Case study structure (overview → research → design → outcome) • Additional pages like Photography, Playground, Blog, Illustrations ✅ Start planning before designing Use Notion / Trello / Google Docs. Start listing tasks + ideas: • What projects are you showing? • What skills do you want to highlight? • What types of projects are you aiming for? Then, create a Google Doc for each page — About, Case Study 1, etc. Add text, image ideas, testimonials, design section layouts — everything. 💡 Label it as V1 — no pressure to be perfect. Iterate → V2 → V3. ✅ Build like a designer: from docs to design Use the docs as a blueprint. Start translating your ideas into your site. 🛠In Wix, I began with my branding — logo, theme, vibe. 📄 Started with the header + footer, then one page at a time. 💡 Pro tip: use Strips in Wix — acts like auto layout in Figma (easy to move sections). 📌 Google everything you’re stuck on — there’s a tutorial for everything. ✅ Present your work right Don’t just show designs — tell the story. Include: • Goals • Research • Wireframes → Final designs • Design files / prototypes • What you learned, what changed 📷 Add photos of yourself working, behind-the-scenes, anything that adds authenticity. ✅ Go live 🚀 Buy a domain. Add resume + social links. Publish + share on LinkedIn. Let people see your work and give feedback. Your portfolio is never final — keep improving. 🎯 UX portfolios take time. Be patient. Stay focused. If you want that first job — this is where you show what you’re capable of. 💬 Let me know if you want me to break down how I write case studies — happy to share! And meanwhile — follow me on Instagram @inher.designera for videos + more tips! #productdesign #design #uiuxdesign #portfolio

The ₹2,000/month I pay for ChatGPT is paying back — in real savings. For years, I paid for a managed WordPress subscription — just to host a simple personal web page. It wasn’t much work, but it added up: ₹5,000–₹10,000 every year. On top of that, I barely updated the site. This year, I decided to change that. With help from ChatGPT, I set up a simple website — without paying for managed hosting. It now costs me zero for hosting, and only the basic domain renewal from GoDaddy. Here's how: 1. Host a static site for free using Cloudflare Pages (or GitHub Pages/Netlify) 2. Point your GoDaddy domain to your new site (simple DNS update) 3. Build your page using basic HTML + CSS (ChatGPT can generate this for you) 4. Update anytime with a few clicks — no ongoing hosting fees Simple. Fast. Free. If you're still paying annually for basic website hosting, this is worth exploring. ChatGPT can give you detailed steps too.

Jony Ive said Dieter Rams' work was the foundation for almost everything Apple designed. Rams was head of design at Braun for 34 years and designed over 500 products. Every one followed the same 10 principles: 1. Good design is innovative. Not different for the sake of it. Innovative in the sense that it solves a real problem in a way nobody thought to try. 2. Good design makes a product useful. People shouldn't have to read a manual to understand your work. 3. Good design is aesthetic. Rams didn't separate beauty from function. He believed that things you use every day shape your environment, and ugly tools make an ugly life. 4. Good design makes a product understandable. The product should explain itself. The form should make the function obvious. 5. Good design is unobtrusive. Design is not art. It doesn't exist to express the designer. It exists to serve the person using it. The moment someone notices "the design," you've already failed. 6. Good design is honest. It doesn't make a product appear more than it is. 7. Good design is long-lasting. Rams designed a shelving system in 1960 that Vitsoe still sells today...unchanged. He was designing things that would never need to be redesigned. 8. Good design is thorough down to the last detail. Nothing is arbitrary. Nothing is left to chance. If a detail doesn't serve the whole, it doesn't belong. 9. Good design is environmentally friendly. He said this in the 1970s. Decades before sustainability became a talking point, Rams argued that wasting resources through thoughtless design was a form of disrespect. 10. Good design is as little design as possible. His motto: "Less, but better." Strip away everything that doesn't serve the purpose, and what remains is the design.

Global Communications Designer ðŸ‘ï¸ ðŸ â“‚ï¸ | StoriesThat.Work | Author of “The 109 Rules of Storytellingâ€
89,191 followers"Less, but better." In a world of 'more is more' there's a motto we could all live by. Dieter Rams is my design hero.  Frustrated by “overdesigned gadgets†and “wasteful consumerism†in the 1970’s, and fearing that design was being used to manipulate, not serve; he asked himself a simple question: “Is my design good design?†To answer the question, he wrote: “The Ten Principles of Good Design†(1976)  1. Good design is innovative 2. Good design makes a product useful 3. Good design is aesthetic 4. Good design makes a product understandable 5. Good design is unobtrusive 6. Good design is honest 7. Good design is long-lasting 8. Good design is thorough down to the last detail 9. Good design is environmentally friendly 10. Good design is as little design as possible  Dieter wrote these 10 Principles - not as commandments, but as an ethical compass for all designers. His motto was, “Less, but betterâ€.  He saw design as a quiet dialogue between person and object - and he believed every product should help people feel calm, capable, and cared for. His principles are a manifesto for empathy and creativity - a reminder that design, like storytelling, succeeds when it elevates others - rather than impresses them.  His ten principles were - and still are - a call for conscious creation. Dieter's principles inspired me to create the "9 Principles of Better Stories" - because just as good design serves the user, the purpose of a good story is to serve its audience. 🖋ï¸

Brand & Communications Strategist | Helping organizations build trusted narratives in an AI era | Keynote Speaker
39,165 followersI just relaunched my website, and here’s my blueprint for building your own (even on a budget). After building websites for BlackRock, Glovo, and NielsenIQ, refreshing my own finally felt overdue, and surprisingly fun. LinkedIn is rented visibility. As much as I love it, I needed a home for my portfolio, story, and the work that shaped the last decade of my career. If you want to create or refresh yours, here’s the simple framework I used: 1. Prep: Define your website’s goal. This is the hardest part, and most people tend to jump straight into design. Don’t do that. This phase is crucial and needs the most brainpower. Ask: What should my website make people understand, feel, or do? Your goal determines everything. (And yes, you can hire someone just for this strategy piece.) 2. Prep: Create a lightweight brand kit If you're not a company or don't have many resources, you don’t need a full agency. You may need a designer and possibly a personal brand strategist. In this step, define your brand personality, color palette, typography, imagery style, and logo. 3. Draft your copy. Copy is so important. It's what will influence or move people to action. Draft your copy and have AI be your co-pilot here. What story are you telling? What should people know or do on each page? What and how many pages do you need? (Mine: Home, About, Work, Speaking, Consulting, Contact) If writing isn’t your thing, hire a copywriter for this step. It's worth it. 4. Build your sitemap. A simple map of your pages and structure creates clarity. You can map this out on Canva, there's a great template you can follow. Here you'll essentially map out what pages exist, how they connect, what goes where, and what assets are needed (images, samples, logos, case studies). 5. Prepare your content docs. For each page, gather your copy, visuals, examples you like, and layout ideas. This is the process I follow with global brands and what I did for myself, and you can hire someone to advise or assemble these so the user experience matches what you're looking for. (Btw: always remember to optimize for mobile.) I always like to provide ample examples of pages I like, websites that reflect what I'm looking for, and get extra precise with directions for the developer. 6. Hire smart, affordable help. You don’t need a $10K agency. I hired a developer on Fiverr and handed over the sitemap, brand kit, copy, assets, and examples. Clear inputs lead to great outputs, you'll need to follow the development closely to ensure you're happy with the final result. 7. Review, refine, launch Ask yourself: Is the message clear? Does it feel like me? Is there a clear CTA? If yes, publish. My new website finally feels like a true reflection of my story and decade of work. I’d love for you to explore it and let me know what you think: https://lnkd.in/gPtNuuJy

Creativity & Design for Beauty Brands | CEO at We Are Aktivists
79,933 followers1–2 seconds to stop the scroll on platforms like Instagram or TikTok. Users form an opinion about a visual in ~50 milliseconds. Want to instantly grab attention? Great visual composition isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about direction. Content with compelling visuals gets 94% more views than text-only content. It leads the viewer’s eye, shapes how your message is understood, and makes your content impossible to ignore. 8 essential principles to level up your visual game: 1. Rule of Thirds Break your frame into a 3x3 grid. Positioning key elements along these lines or at their intersections creates a naturally balanced and pleasing layout. 2. Leading Lines Incorporate lines, whether architectural, natural, or implied, to pull the viewer’s gaze toward your focal point or guide them through the composition. 3. Balance Create stability by distributing elements thoughtfully. This can be perfectly symmetrical or more dynamic and asymmetrical, depending on the visual weight. 4. Focal Point Every design needs a clear star. This is the element that immediately captures attention and anchors the composition. Clear visual hierarchy can improve conversion rates by up to 30% by reducing cognitive load and guiding decisions. 5. Negative Space What you leave out matters. Space around elements enhances clarity, improves readability, and gives your design room to breathe. 6. Hierarchy & Scale Use size, placement, and proportion to signal importance. This helps viewers navigate your design in a clear, intentional flow. Applying hierarchy, contrast, and spacing can increase content comprehension by up to 70% 7. Contrast Play with differences, color, size, shape, or texture, to create emphasis and depth. Contrast is what makes elements pop. High-contrast CTAs (buttons, key elements) can increase CTR by 20–40% in digital campaigns. 8. Repetition Consistent use of shapes, colors, or patterns builds rhythm and cohesion, making your design feel unified and intentional. Consistent visual systems can increase brand recognition by up to 80% Final Thought Visual structure isn’t optional, it’s how we make sense of what we see. As creators, it’s our job to shape that experience. Master these principles, and your designs won’t just look good, they’ll communicate with clarity and impact. Explore references, study great work, and keep refining your eye. #beautybusiness #beautyvisuals #keyvisuals #communication

Senior eLearning Evangelist at Adobe | AI Workforce Capability & Customer Education Leader
12,573 followersIn my former life, I was a graphic designer. I spent years obsessing over layouts, grids, color palettes, and the tiny details that make a design feel right. When I moved into learning design, I realized those same skills gave me an edge. The PARC principles I had been using for years—Proximity, Alignment, Repetition, and Contrast—translated perfectly into creating clearer, more engaging learning experiences. Proximity Group related content so learners instantly understand what belongs together. Alignment Position elements with purpose. Consistency in placement makes content easier to follow and trust. Repetition Repeat visual cues like colors, fonts, and layouts. Predictability helps learners focus on the message instead of figuring out the interface. Contrast Highlight what matters most. Use size, color, and whitespace to create a clear visual hierarchy. This simple system works in both worlds—graphic design and learning design—because it’s all about reducing friction, improving clarity, and guiding attention. What principles have you borrowed from another field that’s improved the way you create learning experiences?
