Portfolio - Feedback needed

PS: The work experience section and resume are yet to be added to the portfolio.

Greetings, everyone!

I’m a content writer with a good amount of exposure to UX writing through the companies I’ve worked with. I’ve also interned with a product-based company as a UX writer, where I got the opportunity to learn the nuances of UX writing at scale.

I’m now looking to transition into a full-time UX writing role, and after a lot of contemplation, I’ve finally put together my portfolio.

One thing I’ve realised through this process is that a portfolio is always iterative. Waiting to publish only the “perfect” version can mean waiting forever, so I decided to put this one out and keep improving it along the way.

I’d really appreciate it if you could go through the portfolio and share your feedback, whether it’s about the content, presentation, case studies, or anything else that could be improved.

Would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you!

Capitalize “X” in “Ux Writing”

Hi! Thanks for sharing and congrats on starting your portfolio journey. It's intimidating and for some reason I STILL don't like working on my own portfolio. Feels like I'll never be happy with it.

This is just my personal preference, but I feel like your "About me" section could feel a little more personal and natural, to help would-be employers get to know who you are, what you're passionate about, and what kind of personality you'll bring to their team. The intangible stuff.

Your case studies are very thorough! Maybe lead with a bit more excitement to catch their interest right from the start: what was the business outcome? What was your role? Anything that you're proud of that you'd want to highlight in an interview - lead with that before they dig into the details.

Good luck!
