Tiivistelmä
This thesis documents and describes the process of creating a professional visual and UX/UI (User Experience/User Interface) design portfolio. The portfolio was created using Figma, an online prototyping tool. The goal of this personal portfolio project was to prepare and assist the author in finding a relevant design position after graduation.
The portfolio consists of design works created during Interactive Media studies in 2018–2022 in Tampere University of Applied Sciences. The portfolio also includes works from graphic design volunteering and two practical training periods completed during the studies.
Visual design and UX/UI design job requirements were researched, and a list of necessary education, tools, and skills were derived from it. Utilising this collected data, an online portfolio was created in Figma. This can be then further used to showcase the designer’s skills to potential employers and apply for countless of design positions.
