Write a UX case study for my design portfolio
Turns a past project into a scannable portfolio case study that shows your process, decisions, and impact, not just final screens.
The prompt
Help me write a UX case study for my portfolio.
Project: [PRODUCT, TEAM, TIMEFRAME]
My role and what I personally did: [BE SPECIFIC - versus what the team did]
The problem and why it mattered: [USER AND BUSINESS PROBLEM]
Process: [RESEARCH, IDEATION, TESTING, ITERATIONS - what actually happened]
Key decisions and what changed my mind: [2-3 MOMENTS]
Constraints: [TIME, TECH, STAKEHOLDERS]
Outcome: [RESULTS, METRICS, FEEDBACK - only real ones; or "not measured"]
What I would do differently: [HONEST REFLECTION]
Confidentiality limits: [WHAT I CANNOT SHOW OR NAME]
Target roles: [e.g. senior product designer at B2B SaaS]
Write:
1. A title and a one-line summary (problem, my role, result).
2. A TL;DR box for skimmers: role, team, timeline, outcome.
3. Sections: Problem, Approach, Key decisions (with the alternatives I rejected), Outcome, Reflection. Use first person for my work, "we" for team work.
4. Suggested visuals per section (e.g. before/after, journey map, test clip) and short captions.
Rules: about 600-900 words; show judgment and trade-offs, not a generic double-diamond recital; never invent or inflate metrics - use [ADD METRIC] or describe qualitative impact; respect my confidentiality limits. Finally, give me 3 likely interview questions about this project.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.
