A practical, recruiter-friendly UX case study structure you can reuse for every project.
The 6-part UX case study
- Summary: problem, users, your role, outcome (3–5 lines).
- Research: what you learned (quotes, patterns, data).
- Definition: JTBD, user needs, success metrics.
- Ideation & IA: flows, sitemap, wireframes.
- UI iterations: key screens + rationale.
- Results: what changed (conversion, time-to-task, CSAT).
What to show (and what to avoid)
Show
- Decision making and trade-offs
- Before/after screenshots
- Constraints (time, tech, stakeholders)
- Impact (numbers or credible signals)
Avoid
- Walls of text without a summary
- Unexplained “pretty UI” shots
- Generic process diagrams only
- Too many projects without depth
