What are examples of service design portfolios?
The full question
Do you have any Service Design portfolio examples I could look at?
My answer in video
My two cents
In my opinion the best Service Design portfolios are often the ones that you never see.
Because they are the ones that contain confidential material or the ones of great Service Designer's who already have found their dream job and therefore don't show their portfolio anymore.
Nevertheless I've spent some hours for you to find public examples of portfolios that showcase work done either by Service Designers or by people who used a Service Design mindset.
Two portfolio's I really like
Andrea Pastor's Service Design Portfolio
Andrea Pastor's Service Design portfolio shows a deep understanding of the different people (and their different needs) who will watch her portfolio. She highlights with humility her role, for the nerds shows quickly an overview of the tools and methods and keeps the whole interesting with visuals of work in progress and final deliverables like videos.
Selin Sargut's Service Design Portfolio
I really like Selin Sargut's Service Design portfolio for its extremly clean and well structured format.
