"Make your headline instantly tell who you are Your headline should remove all doubt in one line - your role, experience, and domain. Recruiters hate guessing what kind of designer you are, so make it obvious. A sharp headline sets the tone and signals confidence. Example: ❌ "Hi, I'm Shai. Welcome to my portfolio." ✅ "Product Designer · 4 Years · SaaS & Fintech" This alone upgrades your UX portfolio first impression."
"Add one credibility line that proves you've done real work A single sentence showing scale or impact earns trust immediately. It tells the reviewer you've worked on real problems, not just concepts. This one line often decides whether they scroll further. Examples: "Designed features used by 90K+ users." "Increased onboarding completion by 32%." "Led UX for a $3M-funded startup product." 3. Show your top two projects right on the first fold Recruiters DON'T judge you by EVERYTHING you've done."
Make your headline instantly tell who you are, stating role, years of experience, and domain in one clear line. Add one credibility line that proves real work by showing scale or impact, such as user counts, percentage improvements, or funding context. Show the top two strongest projects on the first fold to set expectations, reduce cognitive load, and pass the five-second portfolio test. Place projects that show measurable outcomes and broad impact, not old or cosmetic work. Give projects outcome-first titles that communicate impact, context, and relevance immediately.
