Why would you do it for free thou?
There is this website: https://www.catchafire.org/ I think organizations on here still want to see references/portfolio. Or https://www.uxrescue.org/
Desperate to add new work - want to add to my portfolio and don’t want to wait around. I’d make my own case studies but would actually rather have clients to show for it. If it’s paid that’d be great but not the end of the world if not.
I’ve thought about doing this but haven’t actually done it! I’ve thought about doing this for under represented / underfunded communities or projects, like a mom/pop local restaurant, projects like that!
Now that your post has me thinking about it again, I wonder if it might make sense to ping your networks! I know there are a lot of huge design Slack communities. Maybe try finding some of those and doing a post there? I can recommend you to one, DM me! Perhaps a post on LinkedIn, Facebook or Instagram within your networks could generate some leads. Or maybe even update a dribbble or behance profile as well.
Though it’s controversial to do work for free, I really love the idea of donating time and design to not only better a portfolio, but to also do some ‘design good’ for folks who otherwise don’t have access to UI/UX specialists
This is a nice thought, but have in mind that mom and pop shops either use something like square space, Shopify etc where they update their website themselves and struggle even with the simplest functions. Or they need to pay someone to implement what the UX designer is proposing. So unless you can develop the site yourself not sure if offering your UX services for free would suffice.
I’d love to connect with you. It’s not a site but can use your expertise and yes use for your case studies and portfolio
That would be amazing! It looks like you don’t have your DMs open yet. Let me know if there’s an alternate method to contact you.
Open to an internship?
Not sure how that would work since I have a job and am no longer a student. Feel like I don’t meet the criteria to be an intern.
