What makes it work

A breakdown of the choices that make this portfolio stand out.

1

Leading with a quantified outcome, not just a described process

The IT-support case study states a 65% reduction in human service-desk interactions up front. Most conversation design portfolios describe flows and personas; this one anchors the whole story to a number a business stakeholder would actually care about.

2

Naming the full discipline stack a real project requires

The case study lists service design, conversation design, AI strategy, and change-management rollout as separate phases of one project — an honest picture of how much of "conversation design" at enterprise scale is organizational work, not just dialogue writing.

3

A client testimonial in the subject's own words

Including the literal line from an engineering manager ("This thing routes like a boss") gives third-party evidence the design worked in production, not just in a prototype.

What Conversational AI Designers can take from this

Specific, actionable tips to apply to your own portfolio — no generic advice.

  • If you have one hard metric from a shipped project, put it in the first line of the case study — don't bury it under process description.

  • Break out the non-conversation-design work a project required (change management, rollout, stakeholder alignment) — it shows you understand how conversational AI actually gets adopted.

  • A short, verbatim stakeholder quote does more for credibility than a paragraph of your own self-assessment.
