Your case studies - Need more visuals of your work upfront, too much writing and not enough of your mock ups. requiring hiring managers to scroll all the way to the bottom. They will spend very little time on your portfolio. Make sure it’s scannable and put important stuff upfront.

Remove about 70% of the text/explanation down to the bare bones. 3 sentences max to make an impactful point. Start with your results first.

It also looks like you went to a boot camp, is that true or is this work from your PM experience? If it’s from a boot camp… throw it out and use your pm experience as leverage.

Thank you 🙏

I see your portfolio has options for Spanish and Italian, but you need to spellcheck your English translations! I'm seeing a handful of incorrect spellings.

Also, your intro on your home page is pretty generic. Leverage your last sentence about creative problem solving and scrap the rest. Talk instead about your years as a project manager - that's what sets you apart! Everyone and their mom gets into UX to "create memorable experiences" so that's not going to be memorable for recruiters.

Lastly, people are right: your case studies are too long. Think of your portfolio as a product for recruiters/hiring managers. What do they want to see? How long do they have to read your case studies? What information is most important to them? Figure those things out and prioritize them. Leave your detailed case studies for a portfolio presentation in an interview, when you have time to go over things.
