Problem positioning myself as a UX Designer
Hello community,
I have been working as a digital designer for almost 10 years and I am very skilled when it comes to creating eye-catching user interfaces.
In the last couple of years, I have been also focusing more on UX, finished a bootcamp and all. Since then I have created two different portfolios, UX/UI only. I have had 0 job offers. It's been 2 years.
Since I am also familiar with frontend, I tend to navigate towards gamification. A lot of products profit from introducing game elements. And again, I can showcase my UI skills here.
I have a few older projects I think of reusing (mostly branding). I believe they're very strong ideas and could also show my problem solving in a different area.
Is this a good path to go with? To include UX/UI projects that are focused around gamification and a few additional branding projects? Would it come off as juvenile?
Can the people who have more experience with this please chime in and offer their advice?
Thank you in advance and have a nice day🚀
