We’ve previously prepared a list of the best Web Developer Portfolios. While web developers are extremely important for any digital product, UX Designers are also equally important if not even more important. As a result, we wanted to prepare this article+showcase of the top UX Designer Portfolios on the web to be an example for any striving or experienced UX Designers who want to improve their portfolios.

- 4 To Wrap Up…
Usually, UX Design is used interchangeably with UI and Usability. It’s true that a UX Designer works on Usability and UI Design, but those are subsets of UX Design in general. A UX Designer is responsible for almost all aspects of the product. As a result, UX Designers have to be extremely versatile and systematic.
What Makes Up a Good UX Designer Portfolio?
A portfolio website is essentially a publicly accessible business card. The greatest thing about it is that you can tell a lot more about your story and your work on your portfolio. A good UX Designer portfolio includes information about yourself, your work, and how to reach you. Let’s go over each point in detail.
An About Me Page
Having a short bio on the landing page of your portfolio website is good but make sure to include an about me page. On your about me page, include as much information about yourself as possible. But don’t forget to make it simple and easy-to-understand. You should cover anything from your own short biography, your work experience and you can even include a bit more about yourself such as your hobbies, etc.
Work Experiences
Your portfolio should reflect the quality of your work and as a result, you should clearly showcase your best pieces of work on your portfolio. A good practice is to showcase the work you’re most proud of on your main page but have a link to the rest of your portfolio. A popular practice is to add it as “My Work” on your primary navigation menu. For freelancers, it’s always good to strike a balance between “serious” projects and more quirky ones.
Social Proof
Social proof is good, social proof is necessary, social proof can lead to success. In other words, you need social proof to back up your work. Some might think that their work speaks for itself, but the reality is that people need to see your work praised by others. So, if possible, adding a few instances of social proof will go a long way. Things that pass as social proof include quotes from satisfied clients, employers, and previous work experiences (especially true if you’ve worked for a well-known company).
Contact Information & Availability
This one is simple. Your portfolio website should include your contact information or ways to contact you. The easier to contact you, the better. On top of that, some freelancers include information about their availability regarding new projects/jobs on their portfolio websites.
