Hi TOP UX designers,
As some of you might notice that our platform has been upgraded! The notion version is still active, and welcome to check the new version today!
Why change?
The Notion platform is great; I’m a big fan. But for some technical issues that I can’t handle. For example, some of you can’t open the images or loading the form very slowly.
Personally, I would like our website to have a better “navigation bar“ to help you find the content as quickly as you can.
I was struggling to find another no-code platform to transfer all the content. After several months’ effort, I have found the amazing “Gitbook“!
What’s new?
More user-friendly “search bar”
Faster web loading speed
Complete introduction of each category
Social media profiles for you to follow
What’s in the future?
To better help UX beginners land a job, we will create content such as:
Resume editing
Portfolio presentation skills
Whiteboard challenge
Mockup interview
App Critique
Online workshops for job seeking
Please stay tuned, and I will update it in the weekly newsletter as soon as possible!
OK, now it’s for the “real” weekly update!

🌻 Portfolio of the week
Deia Green is a former Microsoft intern and RIT graduate. Her portfolio is great at storytelling and a good example for entry-level UX designers.
Especially the thumbnail of each case study is unique and not boring at all. It gives users an overview of what the project is and what to expect.
Even she didn’t participate in the entire product design during the internship; she still highlighted her contribution by using images. Very creative!
