Portfolio question
Hello! Senior UX/UI designer here!!
I wanted to ask something to people involved in hiring / design leads / recruiters, or other senior UX/UI designers out there. Do you actually see a difference between candidates sharing their portfolio through a personal website vs sharing a Figma portfolio link?
I’ve seen a lot of designers lately using polished Figma portfolio presentations instead of building a full website, and honestly some of them look great and feel much easier to control/update. (It’s also worth mentioning that, in my case, I’m not really a coding professional, even with platforms like Webflow where everything seems more accessible).
I was discussing this with a friend and we both seem to share the same opinion, but I’m really curious to know what you guys think. Does sending a Figma portfolio feel less professional to you and.. would it make a candidate lose points compared to having their own portfolio website?
I’m planning to redesign my portfolio after spending the last 4 years working in gaming and with Riot API-related projects, so I’ve been wondering what the best option really is.
Thank you in advance, I really appreciate any opinion or insight!!
