How to Build a Portfolio for Blockchain UI/UX Design?
I’m trying to pivot into the blockchain space as a UI/UX designer and want to build a portfolio that actually stands out. For those already in the field or who’ve hired for these roles:
Project types: Should I focus on DeFi apps, NFT platforms, crypto wallets, or something else? Are there specific kinds of projects that scream “blockchain UX” to hiring teams?
Tools: What’s the go-to software here? I’ve used Figma/Sketch, but are tools like Web3.js, Solidity, or blockchain simulators worth highlighting even if I’m not a dev?
Portfolio setup: Any pro tips for organizing or presenting work? Case studies with problem/solution breakdowns? Demo videos? How much do recruiters care about explaining blockchain-specific challenges (like onboarding crypto newbies)?
Would really appreciate advice from anyone who’s been through this grind or knows what hiring managers prioritize in this niche. Thanks!
