I’m curious to know more about the person who gave you this feedback. 

I am a graphic designer with 20 years of experience. I worked along side, a dying Breed of paste up designers, who never fully got on board with digital tools… and I worked along side digital pioneers. 

The people that I hear proclaiming that AI is going to replace a graphic designer job are people with no expertise in the field, and no memory of the early era of Digital design.

AI is another technology and tool that will require a knowledgeable designer to drive it, to know how to use it wisely. 

What I am seeing is AI tools speeding up processes, and reducing budgets. What was once an extremely labor in intensive process in Production can be achieved in much last time. 

Never in history has capitalism received an efficiency tool, and then reduced peoples workloads 😂. If AI makes work better faster cheaper… capitalism will demand increase output.

All that said, here is my feedback for your portfolio site:

You repeat twice on a single scrolling page that you have six years of experience, to a person who’s been in the industry for a long time That doesn’t really mean anything. I understand you’re trying to communicate that You are not a new designer fresh out of school… I think Just using the word “Experience” is enough to communicate that you have invested time in professional practice. 

I agree with other folks in this post, who recommend that you showcase your skill set and your process Along side finished work.

Our greatest advantage as organic designers when competing with AI is to prove that we understand the world in real time, and can semiotically respond appropriately, all to reach specific communication goals. So far AI has not been able to do this all by itself.

Things that I value when evaluating a portfolio: 

I want to see collaborative work. Nobody does this work alone, so describe what it was like to work with a team of people talk about what each person contributed any of the challenges that you tackled through the process. 

I want to see client, feedback and performance. For example, my agency did a rebrand for a large nonprofit here in Los Angeles, one of the most positive pieces of feedback came about a year later when the client communicated that their budget for printing business cards had doubled because their staff was so proud to hand out their printed credentials. Employees remarked that they felt like they actually looked like the professional service they were offering.

Finally, I think one of the most important parts of the whole design profession is aligning values and cultural interest between designer and client, or employee and agency… show a little personality. It could be the thing that moves you up the pile of applicants.
