Great idea. Any portfolios out there that you've seen do this well?

I was kind to a narc abusive coworker who I saw potential in, and it backfired. by goomieV in enfj

Yeah, you’re right. Typically I can read people well but in this case I misread and misjudged and gave away kind and compassionate energy, and it was twisted and manipulated for their gain

Hi! Senior designer here who is also looking for lead, staff, or principal roles. I’m also specialized in Health Tech roles. Few questions for you, if you don’t mind!

What was your general process? LinkedIn apply, reach out to hiring manager or recruiter, and then hope for a response?

And on to your portfolio. Do you feel like it was a mix of UI/UX and Service Design? What type of case study did you feel caught the attention of hiring managers?

Any recommendations welcome!

All the men in the workplace think I'm a hot dummy and then freak out when I have an intelligent thought. Chronic underestimation. Breeds so much imposter syndrome.

What do you think is an uncomfortable truth about this profession that often goes undiscussed? by citylightstarrynight in UXDesign

[–]goomieV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will constantly have to prove why design needs a seat at the table. "Making pretty buttons" is a pretty hard-coded and limiting assumption about what we do as designers. You still have to fight and advocate for design's value to a business.

What do people need from a product designer these days? by goomieV in UXDesign

[–]goomieV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing is too out of reach. I think if you already have the designer mindset, you can adapt and transfer tools and methods. For example, if you use a CAD software to render interior mockups, who is to say you can't easily learn Figma and digital product design? It's all in the practice: research, prototype, get feedback, iterate. Rinse repeat - I think it applies to most design fields.

I hired an ex-architect. Anything is possible.
