Meetup Details

Hi IxDF Brighton...

Based on suggestions from the last session, I'm starting a series of chats about Portfolios.

Most of us have one way or another looked into Portfolios. Either as a fresh-faced UXer who is looking for that first gig or someone who has been in the industry for a while and it's time to maybe rethink your personal brand? :)

The idea behind these sessions is to share our knowledge and experience or simply ideas that we saw on internet regards the portfolios. Share our own Portfolios for healthy CRIT sessions.

The two letters UX contain so much more then just design which also can be seen with different styles of portfolios out there. :)


First Session :
IxDF has a course on "How to create a UX Portfolio" which is just under 13h long and available now.

Let's do the course together and within this Session discuss what we learned and also bring some examples of portfolios that you have seen around - online or your friends shared with you etc.


See you at our chat on Portfolios.

Thank you all for joining the Portfolio discussion yesterday. It was great to look at some of these portfolios and have a discussion of what works / stands out and what might be improved.

Portfolios are never fully done and always improving. :)

Aiming to have our 2nd Portfolio chat on March 2021.

The book that I mentioned at the end is called "Ends" by Joe Macleod

As Sarah mentioned could be a nice topic for our meetup - As consumers and providers we overlook the importance of healthy, coherent endings.

have a lovely the rest of the week,

Julia

Meetup attendees

Members can show their interest to attend a meetup by clicking “Attend this meetup” button. In addition, since Local Groups events are open to all, non-members can also attend these meetups.

Members might be bringing their non-member friends to a Local Group meetup (and you’re welcome to do the same), but their non-member friends will not be shown as “attending” because this feature is only available to members.

P.S.: Note that the number of attendees is not an indication of its value! Small meetups work perfectly, and can facilitate deeper, more fruitful conversations.
