The words this field uses
Share is how many of these posts use the word. A word only counts when its posts use it far more than other fields’ posts do, and when at least 5 companies use it. Only use a word where your real experience backs it up. This shows how your field describes the work; it is not a list of claims to add.

What posts ask you to prove
Taste & quality bar
Curate hard. A few pieces with a clear point of view beat a long list of okay work.
Shipped work
Live, shipped work outranks concepts. Link the real thing and show it being used.
Relevant surfaces
Match your projects to their product: consumer mobile, web, B2B tools, or dense software interfaces.
Visual craft
Typography, spacing, and hierarchy get judged before anyone reads your words. Show finished screens big and crisp.
Systems thinking
Show how the pieces fit together: components, patterns, and consistency across screens and platforms.
Interaction & flows
Show the whole journey, not one hero screen. Flows, states, and the steps between screens prove interaction thinking.
Product thinking
Tie each design choice to a user need and a business goal. Reviewers want to see judgment, not just output.
Framing & complexity
Open with the messy problem. Then show how you made something complex feel simple.
Concept & range
Show the idea behind the work and prove it travels across mediums: storyboards, styleframes, and campaigns held together by one concept.
Measurable impact
End each case study with what changed: a metric, an outcome, or honest data on what did not work.
User-centered process
Show where real people changed your design: the research, the test, and the iteration that followed.
Story & rationale
Structure every case study as problem, exploration, decision, result. Explain the why behind each tradeoff.
Identity & brand systems
Show complete systems: logo, type, color, and how they hold up across every touchpoint. A pile of one-off assets reads weaker.
AI fluency
Show how AI changes the way you explore, prototype, and ship, not only that you use it.
Collaboration
Name your partners and the compromises you made. Teams want proof you can ship alongside engineers and PMs.
Ownership & 0→1
Say exactly what you did. Work you started from nothing and drove yourself reads as the strongest proof.
Prototyping & code
Interactive prototypes and real code now count in your favor. Embed or link them so reviewers can touch the work.
Speed with quality
Show one moment you chose to ship fast and one you chose to polish, and explain the call.
Leading designers
For managers, the portfolio shows the team's work and your part in it: who you hired and grew, the bar you set, and what shipped because of it.
