Hi, my name is Leander! I'm a product designer working in London. This is my first attempt at creating a UA-cam video, and it's scary stuff! But the road toward improvement and 'greatness' has to start somewhere, so here we are. I hope to look back on this first stab one day, so I can see how far I've come.

    nice summary! it took me a long time to learn that your portfolio doesn't need to be "crazy". In fact, the more clean, simple and neutral you keep it, the wider the audience of people it will speak to and not distract from your work. I think especially new designers go into it thinking they have to reinvent the wheel and overthinking a lot of things. It really helped me to just look at some senior designer portfolios and build mine based off what I could see worked well.

    Hi! Did you actually build the website from scratch on webflow or you imported it from your figma design?

    • @leanderangst
      @leanderangst 4 дні тому

      I built it from scratch, took a nice long while so wouldn't necessarily recommend that route. Figma now has an 'import to Webflow' plugin that's worth checking out. OR you can copy an existing Webflow site and us that as a template to save lots of time.

      Great question - anything that you can put on your LinkedIn profile and share when you apply for jobs will do the trick! You don't necessarily need a website, you can host case studies on Dribble, Behance, etc... I just wanted a website so I could show that I designed & built that too, as a supporting piece of work to make my application stand out :)

    Hi, I stumbled upon your video randomly. My ui designs suck making them unappealing to look at.This video shed some light on to focus my self more to UX.Thank you. I just have 1 question.It is just that I always seem to have a blank mind when it comes to looking for inspiration in web design.I feel like I’m cheating and don’t know how I should draw inspiration like do I copy the whole layout or the only the graphic elements only.Can you do a video on how to create a website by using inspirations like on exactly how should we draw inspiration with a example?

    • @leanderangst
      @leanderangst 12 днів тому

      Your UI can always get better - use the copying method I talked about here to practice, it honestly helps SO much. Copying isn't cheating - obviously don't copy everything exactly, but use elements from other websites that you like and make them your own! Great suggestion for a video, will absolutely do that!

    Great idea, I’ve started from today using this method. One question is that mobbin’s screen shots are large, would it be ideal to scale down to the base pixel size so you can assess their metrics better? E.g I went with a iPhone 13 & 14 frame size

    As an architect turning into UX design, I can’t underestimate the power of “copying” or what I like to call “replenishing my eyes” meaning we have to look at a lot of existing design, presentation styles, or concepts so we can come with our own. One thing I mostly do when I’m tasked with something I’m not yet confident in or what to get better, I do an exercise exactly like that. I take a photo/picture or model and try to copy it as mush as I can. Then I can learn new techniques or train my eyes to see different things that the pros do that I can incorporate in my future designs. I was already planning to do something like that when I’m doing the UI design of my very first concept app.

    Hello, I will be joining as a software engineer at Ford. However, product design has really piqued my interest in the last few weeks. I find it more interesting and comes more "naturally" to me. Like, I've built several apps and released them on the Play Store and found the UX part to be more enjoyable than the technical decisions I make. However there is one thing really stopping me from switching. r/UXDesign and other UX related communities seems to be full of horror stories about the current market and I wonder if the job market will be similar to the pre-covid times ever again and how can I switch to product design. I am a bit confused about my long term career (whether I should stick to swe or transition to a product design role). Your inputs will be really helpful.

    I kind of met the same fate. Joined GA bootcamp and they heavily advertise how much UX/UI designer can earn. The downside of a bootcamp is really just learning fundamentals of UX/UI and you're right on the cookie cutter portfolio 😅. Most recruiters will think twice hiring those UX/UI designers because of bootcamps as it is saturated.

    • @leanderangst
