I wish this had existed long before now to help the designers I’ve mentored who are trying to grow their portfolio. While case studies are the primary format for UX portfolios, there’s nothing stopping someone from showcasing other skills with engaging exercises like these.

Maybe you’re at a job where you’re can’t frequently be in touch with customers. Maybe you’re stuck in a role but trying to make the switch the UX. Maybe you’re studying UX but would like to gain a competitive edge. Maybe you’re a team lead trying to help your team learn new skills. UX Challenges are an invaluable tool in any of these situations.

Jordan and I put a ton of time into this—hope you find it valuable!

Really helpful projects! Thank you for sharing. The set of skills you've highlighted resonate with my UX experience. I could see this becoming part of a course in the school system where I do UX/UI work and software development.

I'm getting annoying flashes on the website every time I switch to a new page with the error message

> "Layout was forced before the page was fully loaded. If stylesheets are not yet loaded this may cause a flash of unstyled content. content.js:84:32"

Seems like a weird thing to happen on a static website. Happens on Firefox 87.0, not on Chrome.

Asking from an engineer perspective, how do we define meaningful metrics for designers?

[taylorpalmer]

This seems like an important question but I admit I'm not sure what you mean—are you asking how to measure a designer's performance?

Thank you for the reply. Ya I'm relating to performance. When setting goals to designers, I find it difficult to measure their performance. I am interested in measuring, for example, design consistency, iteration throughput, collaboration efficiency with engineer, adoption, amongst others. Basically I want the process be more objective and rely less on intuition. Would love to learn how others do it
