Your Portfolio Matters!
If you're applying for a design internship, don't just submit a portfolio containing screenshots of your final designs.
Try to show: Problem → Research → Ideas → Exploration → Iterations → Final Design
For example: Problem: Users struggle to understand a particular product flow.
Research: Identify the user pain points. Exploration: Create multiple possible solutions. Iteration: Take feedback and improve the design. Final: Present the finished experience and explain why you made those decisions.
This helps demonstrate how you think, not just how you make things look.
