Product Designer Portfolio: Building Trust in AI Systems

The Challenge

A product designer and PM needed a portfolio that would showcase their unique expertise in AI-powered products while demonstrating their human-centered approach. The challenge was to communicate complex AI concepts in an accessible way while standing out in a competitive market of tech portfolios. The designer needed to attract product leadership roles at companies building trustworthy AI systems.

The Solution

I created a modern, minimalist portfolio site in Framer with gradient accents and clean typography. The hero section prominently featured their unique positioning: bridging AI and human-centered design. The site included an illustrated avatar, clear navigation to their work process and AI tools expertise, and compelling copy that emphasized building user trust in AI interfaces. The design balanced technical credibility with approachable personality, using white space and subtle animations to create a premium feel.
