New Release - Meet Your New, Improved Profile

As designers, we face a constant battle to keep ourselves up to date. With every project published, job completed or new skill mastered, there is a need to revisited multiple profile links, design files, slides and resume documents. Oftentimes, the side of your professional self that you show to the world is out of sync and out of date compared to where you really are in your career today.

Showcasing your skills and experience shouldn’t have to be a burden. We’ve revamped Uxcel Profiles to bring together all of your skills, accomplishments and best work into one place.

A better way to build your design profile

How do you capture your entire design footprint? If you’ve ever applied for a design role, you’ll know hard hard it can be wrangling multiple design files, summary slides and a hastily updated PDF resume. The new Profile experience simplifies this process by consolidating all your key info into your ‘About’ tab. Add a short written summary about yourself, as well as your work experience and tool-stack to give viewers an overview of your professional self. We’ll take care of the rest...

Build your profile on autopilot

Everything you do on Uxcel contributes to building up your profile. Each time you complete a course or attain a certificate, your accomplishment will be added automatically to your profile. The badges you earn, streaks you maintain and overall activity also count towards your Designer Score, and you’ll find a more detailed breakdown of your top competencies in the Skill Graph tab. As you continue to learn and grow as a designer, your profile will accurately reflect your progress and accomplishments.

Showcase your portfolio

Profile now gives you a dedicated section to showcase the projects you are proud of. Curate your portfolio by selecting the Uxcel Projects that you want viewers to see, and add quick links out to external examples of your best work.

Learn from the best and grow your network

See a project or profile you like? Want to stay connected to a top contributor? Follow the top voices in the community and build your own following by creating content of your own. Mentors will also have the option to offer meeting schedules, so that users can connect with top designers for guidance and feedback sessions.

Keep tabs on your progress and presence

You’ll notice an all-new analytics dashboard in your about section. Toggle between your learning stats and community activity to see key metrics such as number of profile views and courses completed. Monitor your progress over time to stay on top of your learning goals and elevate your presence within the community.

Put your front foot forward
