UI Designer Portfolio

UI Designer Portfolio

An editorial, typography-led portfolio for digital designers who want to look unmistakably senior — bold layout, brutalist structure, and case studies that read like a magazine.

About this template

This template is built for UI/UX designers who want their portfolio to feel like a designed artifact, not a list of projects. The layout is intentionally editorial: oversized headlines, strong grid discipline, and plenty of negative space that makes every word and image feel deliberate.

The hero section establishes instant positioning with a magazine-cover title treatment and a clear “editor’s note” intro — perfect for articulating your design philosophy in a way that feels premium, not forced. A portrait module adds personality without turning the page into a personal brand shrine.

From there, the page flows into numbered case study sections (“01”, “02”, etc.) with alternating layouts that keep scrolling interesting while staying clean. Each case study block supports a title, category tags, a tight description, and a link to read deeper — ideal for recruiters who skim and hiring managers who want proof.

There’s also an inspiration/gallery section that lets you show aesthetic range without bloating your case study count, and the site finishes with a manifesto-style footer and a bold “Let’s Talk” contact moment that feels confident, not desperate.

Overall: it’s a portfolio for designers who care about typography, craft, and narrative — and want the site itself to demonstrate those skills.

Who This Is For

• UI/UX designers applying for product design roles (mid → senior)

• Digital designers who want an editorial, typography-first personal site

• Freelancers and consultants pitching higher-budget client work

• Art directors / brand designers with web + product work to showcase

• Designers with 2–6 strong case studies who want them to feel premium

Best Use Cases

Product Design Job Portfolio: Built for skimming: clear hierarchy, strong project framing, and fast paths to deep dives.

Freelance / Consulting Portfolio: The editorial tone and manifesto footer help you look positioned and intentional — ideal for premium clients.

Agency / Studio Applications: Shows taste and composition. The portfolio itself becomes part of the proof.

Hybrid Designer Portfolio (UI + Dev): Works great if you do UI design + frontend, since the structure supports both craft and execution.

Personal Brand Without the “Influencer” Vibe: Strong personality through design choices, not loud self-promotion.

Getting Started

Step 1: Remix This Template
Duplicate it to get the full portfolio structure: hero, editor’s note, case studies, inspiration grid, manifesto footer, and contact.

Step 2: Write Your Positioning
Replace the headline with your design angle (systems, typography, conversion design, enterprise UX, etc.) and keep the editor’s note to 2–4 lines.

Step 3: Add 2–4 Strong Case Studies
Pick your best work. Include a one-line premise, tags (role/tools), and a single CTA (“View case study”) per project.

Step 4: Curate the Inspiration Section
Use this as “taste proof”: shots of interfaces, layouts, or visual references that show your range without needing full writeups.

Step 5: Update the Manifesto + Contact
Add a short principle-driven statement and make contact dead simple: email + one or two socials.

Step 6: Publish + Iterate
This format is designed for quick updates — swap projects, add “Vol. 05 / 2026,” refresh your editor’s note, and keep it current.

Conclusion

This template is a portfolio for designers who want to look sharp, modern, and intentional. It balances brutalist structure with editorial polish, makes case studies easy to scan, and uses typography as a signature. If you want your portfolio to feel like it belongs in a design publication — this is the one.
