ANNOUNCEMENT: I've been notified of multiple cases of plagiarism so I had to take down my website temporarily.

I'm currently a Product Design Director at a small startup and I've sent this video to my staff as an example of how to do it right. Well done, Sharon! 👏🏾
I also found this video really helpful as a Product Designer! And this might be a bit unexpected, but I'm actually currently searching for an internship in Product Design as a student of The Hague University of Applied Sciences, so in case you were also searching for an intern or ever considered to get one, I would appreciate this opportunity!
this is insanely useful ty! no one has shared their presentation so openly and thoroughly like you. I'm still indecisive about being a ux designer or data analyst. i love the creativity of ui/ux but i dont have the artistic talent (can't draw or paint stick figures to save my own life)
As a UX Designer I'll tell you, don't focus too much on the problem that you think your not artistically talented enough. Don't let that drag you down. It's actually a skill everyone can learn. Working with several teams within agencies aswell as a freelancer I can guarantee you designers are not creatively great at any artistic skill, but rather focused on a few. Some may be great at drawing, but bad at digital design. Some may be great in digital design, but draw the most messed up quick sketches on boards, especially in team workshops that becomes clear. The thing is all design skills follow a certain process. People don't pop into existence and all of a sudden know f.e right proportions in drawing, creating contrast with depth and shadows or are already aware of all design principles/guidelines. It's a attained skill over time improving upon learning what can be improved. The most important skill in any designer especially in a UX Designer is being able to recognize an issue and find solutions for said issue. An eye to see things can be improved. So don't give up. Don't feel inferior. Know your worth. And regarding your question about UX Designer or Data Analyst. I'm a very analytical person, I love UX and Data. But I love the creative expression and analysing human behaviour. You need to ask yourself do you like to use imaginative and soft skills to improve things or do you like creating and visualizing data in a more scientific and mathematical manner?
Hey friend. You can grow in creativity. I’ve been in the design field for almost 10 years. Sometimes I also get overwhelmed by feeling inferior. The beauty of UX is it’s so much more logical and structured. You can do this.
you don't need to know how to draw, but I'd highly recommend taking a graphic design course (learning grid method, color theory, etc) as that will greatly help your UI/visual skills :)
Watching this as an aspiring junior who feels so overwhelmed with breaking into the market, and a little ashamed of how my first project played out. (I have since done a couple more but it’s something that covers UX more). This presentation is SO GOOD, so much so that I feel motivated and inspired to revise my case study. Thank you for this, it clarifies so much for me
I'm at the very beginning of my journey as a UX-designer (just started learning in Google Coursera courses and at the same time EPAM) and this video is soooo useful on how to make my first case portfolio. Thank you thousands of times!
It's incredible that this information is free. Thank you for creating this content Sharon. I'm just beginning the process of making the career switch to UX/UI design and these real-world examples are immensely helpful.
Not even 5 seconds in and already want to give you a big thanks for your transparency and for sharing. People like you keep the world going ‘round. Cheers.
WoW!! I'm impressed by your portfolio. No one shared and present their real case study like you. Thank you so much for being the guide light! There's no doubt that you deserve the job offers.🌺
hey thanks for the video, I'm a junior product designer that just started last year. This definitely would've helped me do better interviews lol. A pro tip that I learned is to use Figma as your slide presentation and then you can include interactive prototypes right on screen which pushes the presentation to the next level :O
You've done a fantastic presentation and breakdown overall for your main project as well as showcasing the how-to on putting it together. Showing how to be more efficient by recycling your project files for web and presentation formatting is incredibly useful for not only aspiring UX/UI designers, but is something that as a junior graphic designer myself I find I can always improve on as time is money in our respective work areas. Demonstrating how you set up for a live interview/presentation by keeping your main slideshow in the middle with a normal dialogue script nearby helped me to better understand how you were able to come off so naturally throughout the video and really invoked a sense of ease and professionalism throughout. Excellent work!
Wow! I can only say THANK YOU! this is incredible! I've been stuck for a few days on my new project I needed to hand in April to finish my UX design master and you made it super easy to understand and kept me going. I can't thank you enough!
I hit a wall with my UX portfolio and I think this is exactly what I needed to keep going on it! Thank you so much! I am going to watch this a few more times and hopefully send my portfolio to employers next week!
Hey! Just seeing that you've gone to a lot of effort here and a lot of people are looking to replicate this (and as someone who's interviewed for design roles) I thought I would add some feedback here. There were three things that stood out to me as red flags and the first one is lack of problem discovery. It went from a compelling anecdote straight to desk research. It would have instilled a lot more confidence in the whole presentation if you were able to show how a more crude version of the problem (e.g. we need to make college students have as much success in their academic goals as their personal goals) could be transformed and better reframed by running a problem discovery effort that outlines the assumptions, generates the root cause questions, synthesises research responses into insights and defining upfront success metrics. I felt I needed reassurance that the anecdote was based in a wider reality. I was left wondering, even if this is an actual problem, what is the size of the market here really and even if it's big enough for us to solve, would they even pay for a solution? This leads to the second gap - no ideation process shown. Once you had the problem statement and converted it to a HMW, there was no process shown on how that HMW question launched an ideation workshop of some sort. Instead it went straight to testing ideas but in reality the ideas that were prototyped should have been shown to come from rank ordering ideas from a prior ideation session. Third is a couple of eyebrow raisers. The design system that was shown wasn't a design system. Design systems are more like self service guides to help devs and designers be enabled to make the right decision within their job. Even if it was, creating a design system is questionable for such a small bespoke project so calls judgement into question.

This is super great thank you so much!! As someone who is still VERY early in their design career and currently just an intern I really appreciate you taking the time to give such insightful comments :)
@@sharonyeunkim hi Sharon, great video, your project is really well made. May I ask how you became an intern for your company and the specific steps you took to get that role? At the moment, my own portfolio is quite empty. I personally use Behance/Adobe Portfolio, and I only have 2 redesign projects and 1 daily ui challenge page 😅 Thanks and have a good day!
it's crazzzzie that people are stealing ur work but i'm so glad you made this video, i'm working on my first real life case study and it's such a challenge. this is so helpful
I really loved your whole thought process for the project! As a user who always thinks about how a website or app can improve it’s UI/UX features, this was so meaningful!
Very well done! I completely loved your presentation! I also really liked how you addressed the issue of utility vs. aesthetics. The complete opposite of what we see today when we go to Dribbble. Reminds me of this quote I read somewhere "There are two types of designers: those who design for other designers and those who design for real users."
I struggle with presentations due to anxiety, which is why I've been wondering how I will show my ideas during interviews. It really comforted me to see how you do it, sharing a part of the screen and having side notes for help, that's what I used to do for online class presentations Thank you so much for this video!
This was extremely helpful. Thank you for posting this. I never could fully understand what presenting for UX looked like, especially with self learning. This puts a lot of things into perspective. Thank you so much.
I'm glad I find this video. Helpful and generous of you to publicly put out the slide, Figma, and other resources. I learned from you. Hopefully, I could nail my following interview. Thank you!
How did I miss this? I had to take notes during the video jam when I heard someone talking about the content so I can go back and search for it. This is really great. Thank you so much.
Hi, I'm currently working on my UX Design certificate from Google, and this is really helping me so much! I feel like all the portfolios I see are so confusing and they don't really help me. But yours is sweet and so straight to the point! Thank you for making this video!
@@sharonyeunkim Since this is the first video of yours I've seen, I definitely want to go through your content before making any requests. You already cover a lot of topics some other channels don't, so that's a plus!
Making my Transition 😉 into Tech this is the leadership level communication I’ve been looking for. Thank you for making my journey into Tech that much easier for the hard work and effort you’ve exemplified in this video.
Thank you so much for sharing your presentation. I’m currently taking the Coursera course with live instruction, and I have to present my project next week. I didn’t have a clue on how to do it until I saw your video. This was extremely helpful. 😊
Thanks so much for sharing this Sharon ❤️😭 It helped me so much in getting past my interview last week!! Would actually love if you would be able to show you tackling whiteboard challenges as well, I have one coming up and seeing your process would be incredibly helpful 🥺 and congrats on your internship offer!
Really appreciate this video Sharon, I am currently enrolled in Springboard and just finishing up my first capstone, the overall process was not too hard, but it was really hard for me to string the pieces together and give a cohesive presentation. Watching you do this really helps me improve, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hey Sharon I am going to be starting my UX/UI journey in a couple days very excited and I hope to rewatch this when I get close to finishing and I want to start making my portfolio for job interviews thanks a bunch! Will
Wow this is incredible!!! WTF. WOW. Another level of brilliance. And funny story about your name; There's something I always joke about as the curse of the Sharons because ever since I was in primary school I was always coming second to girls named Sharon in my classes! That's primary, middle, high school, university although finally in uni I finally bested that one and got the much coveted internship hahaha. Almost feels sad that I've grown up and there are no more tests and structures like school. You were both inspirational and a welcome throwback to keep aiming high. You have a new follower!
Thank you for posting this. I wish I had seen this earlier. It feels like the majority of bootcamps grind out ux designers and give them minimal direction afterwards.
Hi Sharon, This tab is opened in chrome from three days and Today finally I got time to watch this during my coffee time, But Now I watched this twice, haha!! Too much insights in this and it really helpful for the future creating more useful and interesting products, I have experience designing website and now I am learning UX via Google UX course. But your 20 min videos cleared many question in my mind! Thanks a lot for this great video.
I just want to say thank you for your time and all the resources shared on the description, they are absolutely incredible. I'm sure this will help me to start off my career as UX designer! thanks again
personally i felt the presentation was fantastic even the slide show was engaging enough for me to stay interested. I definitely dont think you just rambled, it was great!
Not done watching yet, but from my observations, you are really smart and thoughtful. I like the animated gradient colours behind your presentation, It shows that you thought about keeping your audience/ viewers focused and attracted to your work subconsciously. Great Job 👏
Thank you for sharing your idea and thought process. It certainly was educational and it motivates me further to sketch my portfolio which I’ve been dodging for a while now. Really insightful work! Kudos to you 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I am glad that I found your channel. It was such conducive content for UX beginners as well as for anyone who is passionate about it. Thanks for sharing your hard work with us. 😃
Fantastic work Sharon! Thank you for posting this well crafted out presentation. Its tremendously helpful for me as I put together my portfolio presentation for Product Design role. Hope you keep creating these videos!
It's an awesome approach, thanks Sharon! But the problem I can see these days that interviewers get lazier and rarely read the project case studies you spent days writing. As result designer has to spend another extra time to prepare those presentations and the cooler presentation the better impression you make which is wrong approach on my opinion. Designers have to be evaluated based on their smart solutions that deliver value to the company rather than a nice-looking wrapper.
Hey Sharon! I appreciate the time and dedication you took for this video. I also like the details you gave about the thought process of your work. This video has given me a good real-life understanding of how a UX portfolio presentation works, so thank you. I'm definitely less anxious about future presentations and interviews.
As a newbie never attend any interview before, I am definitely freaking out about my first call interview, but after watching the video I have more hints to prepare my presentation, thanks, Sharon!
Awesome work. I'm sure it will be very helpful. Thankyou for sharing. One feedback though, the color changing gradient was a bit distracting for me personally.
As a ux student, I think this video is very helpful. Coz the process is very clear and you presentation skill inspire me a lot ! Thanks Sharon. Expect your next video !
Sharon, I never comment on videos but thank you for taking time to make this very informative video. I am looking into this career and I am pleased to see how interchangeable my skills from my psychology/neuroscience degree are. Specifically, in terms of the research, analytical, and the statistical aspect. I look forward to hearing more about you and you just earned a new subscriber!
This is very cool, I just switched to UX Team (from MFG engineering, I know it's wild) at my company recently and they speak about a lot of ideas that you have mentioned here. I did a presentation in the fist few months when I began and seeing this definitely showed me what I could do better. Kudos and keep it up!
Wow this is amazing...love how concise the presentation is!!! Would you be kind enough to mention how you got the presentation slides to include videos of the prototype screens...are they gifs?
I am preparing to present my final report for my capstone project and this walkthrough was extremely helpful. I do agree with the piece of feedback at 16:15, but for me it was more so because I found the gifs distracting and I focused less on what you were saying and more on the gifs (I think its just human nature!). But anyways, this was awesome, and I'm glad to hear it resulted in multiple job offers, well done and thank you for sharing!

Hey! Just seeing that you've gone to a lot of effort here and a lot of people are looking to replicate this (and as someone who's interviewed for design roles) I thought I would add some feedback here. There were three things that stood out to me as red flags and the first one is lack of problem discovery. It went from a compelling anecdote straight to desk research. It would have instilled a lot more confidence in the whole presentation if you were able to show how a more crude version of the problem (e.g. we need to make college students have as much success in their academic goals as their personal goals) could be transformed and better reframed by running a problem discovery effort that outlines the assumptions, generates the root cause questions, synthesises research responses into insights and defining upfront success metrics. I felt I needed reassurance that the anecdote was based in a wider reality. I was left wondering, even if this is an actual problem, what is the size of the market here really and even if it's big enough for us to solve, would they even pay for a solution?
This leads to the second gap - no ideation process shown. Once you had the problem statement and converted it to a HMW, there was no process shown on how that HMW question launched an ideation workshop of some sort. Instead it went straight to testing ideas but in reality the ideas that were prototyped should have been shown to come from rank ordering ideas from a prior ideation session.
Third is a couple of eyebrow raisers. The design system that was shown wasn't a design system. Design systems are more like self service guides to help devs and designers be enabled to make the right decision within their job. Even if it was, creating a design system is questionable for such a small bespoke project so calls judgement into question. If it were a platform then it'd seem a more appropriate use of an employers money. Other half is a simple one but one you gotta sort out... spelling error in a header with 'competitive'. We all do it so there's grace for it but when it's so prominent, seems like attention to details wasn't given.
Well articulated and delivered so all that's in the bag, highly desirable and obviously has worked for you :)

personally i felt the presentation was fantastic even the slide show was engaging enough for me to stay interested. I definitely dont think you just rambled, it was great!
This was so interesting and helpful! Girl, YES! You've got this and you've inspired me! Thank you for sharing!
Not done watching yet, but from my observations, you are really smart and thoughtful. I like the animated gradient colours behind your presentation, It shows that you thought about keeping your audience/ viewers focused and attracted to your work subconsciously. Great Job 👏
Ok but why do I actually want this app? Thank you so much for this video! Motivated me tons
thank you!

I watched this and did a presentations like yours, slides and the way you presented it... I got my first job as a UX designer at Adobe. :)
OMG that's amazing!! Congrats! Let's connect on Linkedin :)
Just added you!
Great video! A solid example of a UX design process that is about understanding your customers and integrating these findings into the design.

Wish I could like this a million times! This is great, congrats!
Thank you! :-)
Thank you for this I am doing ny research and learning more and more about UX design
Fantastic work Sharon! Thank you for posting this well crafted out presentation. Its tremendously helpful for me as I put together my portfolio presentation for Product Design role. Hope you keep creating these videos!
This was such an amazing walk through, thank you for sharing!
Sharon, I see a hard work put into this work. I admire this. Congratulations with your achievements!
Thank you for the kind words!! Let me know if you have any questions :)
It's an awesome approach, thanks Sharon! But the problem I can see these days that interviewers get lazier and rarely read the project case studies you spent days writing. As result designer has to spend another extra time to prepare those presentations and the cooler presentation the better impression you make which is wrong approach on my opinion. Designers have to be evaluated based on their smart solutions that deliver value to the company rather than a nice-looking wrapper.
Hey Sharon! I appreciate the time and dedication you took for this video. I also like the details you gave about the thought process of your work. This video has given me a good real-life understanding of how a UX portfolio presentation works, so thank you. I'm definitely less anxious about future presentations and interviews.
Glad to hear that :)
Wow! One of the best videos I've ever watched!!!! Thanks for that Sharon, keep going girl!!!! 💕
Aww thank you Carla!!! Means a lot!
I love this, it is great!, only thing I honestly I can not avoid to be distracted by the moving background.
Thanks for sharing this video Sharon! An idea for the next video would be “how to prepare for interview questions “. Any tips you used or suggest!
NOTED
This is amazing work Sharon!! we have been doing this for a long time and what we have here is a gem! 💎
Ah thank you so much!
As a newbie never attend any interview before, I am definitely freaking out about my first call interview, but after watching the video I have more hints to prepare my presentation, thanks, Sharon!
Awesome work. I'm sure it will be very helpful. Thankyou for sharing.
One feedback though, the color changing gradient was a bit distracting for me personally.
Your 1st project is soo cool and timely! I'm sure many can relate
As a ux student, I think this video is very helpful. Coz the process is very clear and you presentation skill inspire me a lot ! Thanks Sharon. Expect your next video !
This is really insightful, quite hard seeing people drop their actual presentation. Thank you.
This is awesome, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Well done, this also reminds me why I love UX Design so much.
Sharon, I never comment on videos but thank you for taking time to make this very informative video. I am looking into this career and I am pleased to see how interchangeable my skills from my psychology/neuroscience degree are. Specifically, in terms of the research, analytical, and the statistical aspect. I look forward to hearing more about you and you just earned a new subscriber!
Thank you Galilea! Do you have any video suggestions? Feel free to let me know :)

Glad it helped!
This is very cool, I just switched to UX Team (from MFG engineering, I know it's wild) at my company recently and they speak about a lot of ideas that you have mentioned here. I did a presentation in the fist few months when I began and seeing this definitely showed me what I could do better. Kudos and keep it up!
Thank you Parth! :-)))
So great and organized flow of thinkings ! Beautiful ui design as well. I am so impressed !
Thank you!
Great example of showing off your work. I'm a design lead and wish some of our candidates would showcase work this way.
Thank you for your comment Ben!
This is exactly what you’d expect from a product/ux designer. Well done!
Thank you!
Wow this is amazing...love how concise the presentation is!!! Would you be kind enough to mention how you got the presentation slides to include videos of the prototype screens...are they gifs?
Hey! I can make a tutorial on that. But yes, they are GIFS.
@Sharon Yeun Kim please doo!!! Absolutely love your work!
The speaker notes tip at the end is so smart!
:)
This video should be taught in schools, Thank you so much for sharing
My pleasure! I appreciate the kind words :)
I am preparing to present my final report for my capstone project and this walkthrough was extremely helpful. I do agree with the piece of feedback at 16:15, but for me it was more so because I found the gifs distracting and I focused less on what you were saying and more on the gifs (I think its just human nature!). But anyways, this was awesome, and I'm glad to hear it resulted in multiple job offers, well done and thank you for sharing!
Best of luck!!
the presentation is very well done. it really gives me a great idea on how to approach UX!
