Ladies that UX Amsterdam is a welcoming and inclusive community - now also in podcast form! - that aims to promote female talent and increase female visibility. Our community is inclusive of all backgrounds, gender, age, race, and expertise.
Our goal is to create a space for women in UX and tech scene of all levels to engage and talk about their experiences, both positive and negative, and get the support and inspiration that they are looking for.
Starting out in the design field is a beast in itself. And one of the essentials of being seen and get a design job is a solid portfolio. What’s the purpose of a portfolio? Who’s a target group? How many projects should I show? These and many more topics we've discussed in this episode.
We talked to Amine Rhord (UX Product Designer at Pegasystems), along with our co-organizer Agata Ageieva (Product Designer at Relive) about their experiences in reviewing/building and helping others to build their portfolios. The conversation is moderated by co-organizer Daria Kuzmina.

Episode 1: Finding a job remotely
Finding a job can be a job in itself, even in normal times. Add the current Covid-19 pandemic to the mix and it sure can be a challenge to navigate. What are remote interviews like? How can you get a sense of the people and the team culture from afar? Can you notice the red flags or identify green lights via Zoom? What about online whiteboard challenges?
In our first episode, we talk to Gimena Blanco (https://www.linkedin.com/in/gimenablanco/) (Senior Product Designer at Lightspeed HQ), along with two of our co-organizers Daria Kuzmina (https://www.linkedin.com/in/daria-kuzmina-designer/) (Product Designer at Mendix) and Agata Ageieva (https://www.linkedin.com/in/agata-ageieva/) (Product Designer at Relive) about their experiences in looking, finding, and starting a new job in the midst of a pandemic. The conversation is moderated by co-organizers Sabrina Couto (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sabrinacouto/) and Ecesu Erol (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ecesu-erol/).
