Olga Rody Portfolio
Indiana-based UI/UX designer and career changer from accounting, whose four case studies each document personas, flows, journey maps, and hand-drawn sketches.
What makes it work
A breakdown of the choices that make this portfolio stand out.
Career-change narrative used as a design asset
Explicitly connecting an accounting background to structured, process-oriented design thinking reframes a non-traditional path as a specific strength.
A dedicated design-sprint project alongside longer case studies
Including an explicit design-sprint format project shows familiarity with time-boxed, high-velocity methodology.
Hand-drawn sketches shown alongside final screens
Including raw, unpolished sketches signals confidence in showing the messy middle of the process.
What UX Designers can take from this
Specific, actionable tips to apply to your own portfolio — no generic advice.
If you changed careers into design, name your prior field explicitly and connect a specific trait from it to your process.
Include at least one project explicitly run as a design sprint.
Show hand-drawn or rough sketches alongside polished final screens.
