What makes it work

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

1

A named, currently-shipping hardware product as the headline case study

Leading with Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses — a real, purchasable consumer product — grounds the portfolio in something a reader can go verify and try themselves, rather than a hypothetical or internal-only prototype.

2

A business-metric framing for the airline chatbot

Framing the LATAM WhatsApp bot around reducing call center volume, not just "improving the chat experience," ties conversation design work to a cost line an airline executive actually tracks.

Public writing about the discipline alongside her own casework

Her published articles on how to structure a conversation design portfolio double as proof she understands the field's hiring bar well enough to teach it — a credibility layer beyond her own project list.

What Conversational AI Designers can take from this

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

  • If you've worked on a named, shippable consumer product, lead with it — a reader can go verify it exists, which is worth more than an NDA'd internal project.

  • Tie a chatbot case study to the business metric it was built to move (call volume, support cost, conversion) rather than only describing the flow.

  • Writing publicly about your field's hiring standards is itself a portfolio signal — it shows you understand what makes work good, not just that you can produce it.
