[IxDA Discuss] Excellent Portfolios for IxDs

[David Shaw]

In my portfolio I show both UI design and IA (as well as visual design).
Both my resume and job site profile indicate I am specifically looking for
UI Design. But I've had 3rd party recruiters contact me for a position as an
IxD, then ask to see IxD work (but don't specify exactly the type of work
that is).

To your question, yes, many of the UI Design job descriptions want to see
visual design and coding skills. To me, not exactly IxD.
