Vikrant Singh asked a question

Why I feel Medium is great place to build your Design Portfolio and showcase your UX and Design Thinking skills

Aug’17 I enrolled in Interaction Design Foundation(IDF) and completed five of its courses in three months. To get practical hands-on I then completed Freelance Web Design course on Udemy, and have written more about it here.

Soon I started participating in design contests on 99Designs and submitted two designs. But soon realized that it is better to build portfolio and start approaching for work instead of putting too much time and energy on crowd-sourcing design contests.

I was looking for a better way to create a portfolio. I did not want to just put out my design on Dribbble and Behance. I wanted to put my thoughts and research which goes behind the actual design and explain the process. This approach was inspired by The Dribbblisation of Design, special and heartfelt thanks to Paul Adams. I still go through this article every now and then to make sure I do not fall into this trap.

Luckily I came across Portfolio Principles by Martijn van den Broeck and following the lead I started working on mine, Portfolio - Vikrant Singh. Since I saw many people talking about design, I thought to introduce this new way of building the portfolio and putting oneself out.

Let me know your thoughts on this!
