UX design is all about creating a great user experience.

The best UX designer portfolios strike a balance between visually engaging web and graphic design along with usability.

There's no recipe for the perfect UX design portfolio because every portfolio website should showcase the unique skills of the creator. But if you're just getting started or planning to redesign your portfolio, a bit of inspiration can help kickstart the project. 

We’ve curated a list of beautiful UX designer portfolio examples — in no particular order. 

These are just a few of the many incredible portfolios out there.

Let's check out these 14 UX portfolios to help you create your own design in a way that captures the spirit of your work, as well as a sense of who you are.

Emi Lantz’s portfolio website opens with a simple statement, “Hi! I design products & brands.” An animation then swaps the word “design” for other actions including research, market, and support — cleverly incorporating more skills into the opening sentence.

While Emi’s design portfolio shows off her user experience skills, she notes that the word “user” irks her because she likes to think of the people she designs for as friends and family. Emi’s site design stands out because she mixes standard portfolio elements like testimonials and skill rankings with her personality. Labeling testimonials as “high fives” and adding “it’s like Tony Hawk, but designer version” under her skill stat points gives you a glimpse of the person behind the work. 

Ljubomir Bardžić wields UX/UI design with precision in his portfolio. With six featured projects on the homepage  — each occupying their own block of color — he gives just enough detail to hint at what he's capable of.

He then provides detailed insights into each project with his own writing. This accompanying copy goes deeper than just featured projects with client testimonials, his thought process, and a project overview. 

Wendy Schorr’s page opens with a lightbulb with a glowing filament. It’s a perfect match for her mission statement, “Turning bright ideas into beautiful, useful, and delightful digital products everyone can use.” 

Just below the fold, you’ll see images of past projects. Each project page has an extensive case study, detailing Wendy’s user research, process, and early prototypes.

Wendy also shares examples of wireframes or other sketches that were part of the visual design process. UX case studies and extensive research notes could easily become overwhelming, but Wendy breaks the information down into digestible chunks. Her detailed case studies give potential clients a wealth of information, pushing them to visit Wendy’s contact information page to get in touch. 

UX design portfolios don’t have to be loaded with content to leave an impression. Michal’s one-page portfolio website grabs your attention as soon as you start scrolling — the words “I believe in design thinking” appear as you move down the page.

Rather than use basic screenshots, Pascal’s case studies feature high-quality images. Healso takes you behind the scenes by describing the initial challenges and solutions that led to the final product. 

Under “side projects,” Pascal highlights a few passion projects before diving into the philosophy behind his  work. Including these personal touches gives potential clients a better idea of what he believes in and is passionate about. 

Illustrated paper planes glide across the page when you land on Vicky Marchenko’s UX/UI design portfolio.This, paired with a casual “hey there!” and peace sign emoji set a friendly tone for the website. 

Vicky uses her ‘about me’ section to further explain her professional background and design skills. Her projects page is to the point as well, featuring some of her best work and encouraging visitors to get in touch. 

A whimsical robot waves as it welcomes you to Michael Kochenburger's product designer portfolio. Just under the friendly machine, Michael explains that the robot represents their analytical approach to problem solving — which supports his UX design work. 

Oishee uses drop-shadow buttons throughout the site, along with a subtle shadow that appears behind images upon hover, which creates a cohesive design experience. Her featured projects showcase work including website redesigns, user research and testing, UI design, information architecture, interaction design, and more. 

If all you have for a web presence is a Dribbble or Behance account, you’re missing out on a major opportunity to attract new clients. 

A UX designer portfolio is more than just a collection of work — it’s an extension of your own personal brand. Use your portfolio to display your talents and personality.
