How to use

  1. 1Replace [project name] with your specific project (e.g., "Redesign of E-commerce Checkout Flow" or "Mobile App Onboarding Experience")
  2. 2Add context before the prompt: Describe your project, role, and impact. Example: "I redesigned a checkout flow for an e-commerce app. Role: Lead UX Designer. Impact: Reduced cart abandonment by 30%."
  3. 3If you have project materials: Paste research findings, design files, or metrics. Say "Use this project data: [paste research/designs/metrics]"
  4. 4If you have existing case study: Paste your draft. Say "Improve this case study: [paste draft]"
  5. 5Paste the modified prompt into your preferred AI tool, like ChatGPT or Claude
  6. 6Review the generated case study: Check narrative structure, impact statements, and visual documentation suggestions
  7. 7Ask for improvements: Request "Make the problem statement more compelling" or "Expand the research section" or "Add more metrics"
  8. 8Refine and polish: Use the output as a starting point, then add your actual screenshots and project artifacts

Pro Tips

  • Include project metrics: Mention impact metrics (e.g., "Reduced cart abandonment by 30%") so AI can emphasize them
  • Specify case study format: Mention "Format as a Medium-style case study" or "Create a portfolio case study" for tailored structure
  • Request storytelling: Ask "Make it more narrative-driven" or "Add storytelling elements" for engaging case studies
  • Include before/after: Mention "I have before/after screenshots" so AI can suggest how to present them
  • Save as template: Reuse the structure for other projects by asking "Use the same structure but for [new project]"
