Show Your AI Skills in Your Design Portfolio
Justine Montgomery
Founder @ storyline.design
AI skills matter to hiring teams. Does your portfolio show what they want?
AI skills are increasingly appearing in Product Designer job descriptions, 72% of the 206 Product Design job descriptions analysed required AI skills. But knowing what companies actually expect and how to demonstrate those skills in your portfolio isn't always clear.
Maybe you've experimented with AI tools, worked on AI-powered features, or started exploring AI in your design process. But does your portfolio show those skills in a way hiring teams can recognise?
You might be wondering:
Do I need an AI case study to stay competitive?
Does my experience with AI tools actually count?
What if I haven't worked on an AI product before?
This hands-on workshop helps you bridge the gap between AI experience and portfolio evidence.
Using real job descriptions and your own work, you'll identify the AI skills relevant to your target roles, uncover evidence you already have, and develop a case study outline or scope a new project.
Leave with an AI case study outline or scoped project, evidence mapped to your target roles, and a clear plan to develop your portfolio, not just to follow a trend.

Justine is one of the best people I've worked with when it comes to portfolio reviews and helping me sharpen how I present my work. She can quickly spot what is unclear, what is missing, and what needs to be reframed to better match what a company is actually looking for.
