Recruiters don’t reject portfolios because they’re ugly.

They reject them because they don’t understand how the designer thinks.

Most portfolios showcase beautiful interfaces.

Few demonstrate problem-solving.

Your portfolio should quickly answer:

• What was the problem?

• What research informed your decisions?

• Why did you choose this solution?

• What changed after implementation?

If a recruiter can’t understand those answers quickly, they’ll move to the next applicant.

Remember:

Your portfolio isn’t an art gallery.

It’s evidence.

Evidence that you’re ready to solve real product problems.

That’s what gets interviews.
