Minimum viable case studies

As a seasoned designer, you understand the importance of showcasing your work effectively. Case studies are a powerful tool to demonstrate your skills and the impact of your designs. However, the traditional approach to creating case studies can be time-consuming and often overwhelming for designers and hiring managers.

Tyler Wanlass offers a refreshing perspective on the matter. He emphasizes the need for a minimum viable case study (MVCS) that hits the key points without getting bogged down in unnecessary details.

Recognizing that hiring managers often have limited time, Tyler suggests keeping the additional details concise. He also provides valuable general portfolio tips, such as prioritizing static screenshots over interactive prototypes, keeping the website design simple, and curating your work to showcase quality over quantity.

By following this streamlined approach, designers can create impactful case studies that effectively showcase their skills and the value they bring to potential employers. Tyler’s insights offer a practical and efficient solution to a common challenge faced by designers in the industry.
