What Design Directors Actually Want
When a hiring manager reviews your portfolio, they spend an average of 45 seconds scanning your work. To stand out among hundreds of applicants, your presentation must be razor-sharp.
The 4-Part Case Study Formula
1. **The Core Problem**: State the business and user friction clearly in two sentences. 2. **Your Role & Scope**: Clarify whether you did research, UI design, prototyping, or front-end build. 3. **The Key Breakthrough**: Show the iterations and user test insights that shaped the final direction. 4. **Measurable Results**: Did conversion rise 28%? Did checkout drop-off decrease? Quantify your impact.
