Show Your AI Skills in Your Design Portfolio
Justine Montgomery
Founder @ storyline.design
Stop guessing what AI skills your portfolio needs to show
AI is appearing in more Product Design roles, but "AI experience" can mean very different things from one company to another.
You might have experimented with AI tools, designed an AI-powered feature, built prototypes, or incorporated AI into your workflow, but how do you know whether that experience is relevant or how to demonstrate it?
Instead of guessing how to demonstrate AI fluency in your portfolio, we'll work backwards from the roles you're actually targeting.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll use real job descriptions to identify the AI skills hiring teams value, uncover relevant evidence from your own experience, and work on turning that evidence into a compelling case study story.
You'll explore how to communicate your thinking, decisions, experimentation and contribution, not just the final output.
⭐️ This isn't another presentation about AI portfolios. You'll actively work on your own story, get feedback on your direction, and identify what to strengthen or develop next.
Leave with a case study outline you've started developing, evidence mapped to your target roles, and a clear plan to strengthen your portfolio.

Testimonials
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.
