Enterprise UX can be an enigmatic mystery compared to the more popular branches of the design world. While working on your portfolio, you might be wondering:
If these sound familiar, rest assured that you are not alone! Even better, these are exactly the type of things I dive into while reviewing your portfolio.
When you’re applying to an enterprise position, the hiring eyeballs that land on your work need to assess based on the what’s important to them—and that goes beyond the basic visual feedback that most design reviews critique on.
Whether you feel like your portfolio is 50% or 98.5% of the way there, my feedback will be tailored to your particular stage and what you can do next to move forward. I’ll be absorbing your work through the enterprise lens, and this means I’ll be sharing my thoughts and input on:
Enterprise can be messy but sorting through that and organizing it into something usable and powerful is a beautiful thing—and your portfolio should reflect that!
This advanced, custom review will go beyond surface-level visual feedback. You'll get nuanced input that will empower you to optimize your strategy and take your portfolio to the next level.
This review will unlock:
I’ll dive into your portfolio in a recorded video that you’ll be able to access with subtitles and transcripts via Loom. It’ll be downloadable too, so you can watch it offline if needed. In the video, I’ll navigate your work and talk out loud about my impressions, thoughts and questions from the enterprise hiring lens, and include suggestions about where you can improve your impact. I’ll also reflect on the strengths and weaknesses, including evidence of critical thinking and how different enterprise situations can be better highlighted.
Portfolio building is a very personal and complex journey full of nuance, and this review is ready to meet you where you are to help you move forward.
It might be tempting to think you don't need a portfolio to showcase a bunch of flow maps, documentation and data considerations—aren't portfolios best suited for branding and visual design anyway? Unfortunately, the answer is if you're applying to an enterprise design position, you won't be able to get away with only a resume. Read more about what we have to say about enterprise portfolios in this article.
Not at all! I can look at semi-finished portfolios and provide feedback and input to unblock next steps. I can also look at your old portfolio if you're considering a major revamp but don't know where to start. In fact, part of the intake form for this service asks about your portfolio’s stage of development, what your goals are, and whether there’s anything specific you like to hear about as part of the review.
No, you can send me the portfolio in the format that works for you—whether that’s an online website, a PDF, Notion, or google slides, I’ll make it work. Just make sure that if it’s password protected, you include the password too!
After purchasing the portfolio review, an intake form will be sent to your email to gather your primary goals, concerns, and of course your portfolio link! Make sure to include your password if it's protected. A 20 minute video review will be recorded, and the link to view and download it will be sent to you once it's ready.
The current wait time to get a review is within 3-5 days after you submit your portfolio details. I want to ensure that there’s time to properly absorb and reflect, particularly since enterprise designs often come with complexity and nuance.
I’ll record my response using Loom video recording, and you’ll get the link emailed to you. You’ll be able to download the video, and will also have access to the transcript and subtitles.
The review will be $199 USD, with a money-back guarantee if you are unsatisfied in any way.
Make the leap and invest in your portfolio. Enterprise UX is such a niche industry full of well-guarded secrets and strategies, but knowledge sharing and information exchange from an expert eye who's already evaluated countless industry portfolios is how you can take your work further.
