Talk
Stop Waiting, Start Building: Your UX Research Portfolio with Lovable.
Featuring Yeyen Ong
UX Researcher & AI Strategist with Fortune 500 companies.
About The Event
One day, just playing around with AI tools and having fun, Yeyen recreated her UX portfolio in approximately 30 minutes — rebuilding the design of her old Squarespace portfolio from scratch. It surprised even the most seasoned AI vibecoders: how fast, functional, and beautiful it turned out. That's when she realized she was onto something. And since then, many have been asking her to teach others how to do the same.

Your portfolio is one of the most powerful tools in your UX research career — and building one no longer requires a developer. Join us for a hands-on webinar where Yeyen Ong will be showcasing how to build a stunning UX research portfolio using Lovable and teaching you everything you need to know to publish your own — all in one hour.
📅 Wednesday, August 12, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PT
Whether you're just starting out or looking to refresh an existing portfolio, this session will give you the practical guidance and confidence to put your work out there.
Yeyen will cover:
A live walkthrough of building a UX research portfolio in Lovable
Portfolio best practices specific to UX research — what to include, what to leave out, and how to tell the story of your work
How to handle NDA and confidentiality constraints— practical strategies for showcasing protected work without violating agreements
💻 Online via Zoom (link sent upon registration)
This event is hosted by LA UXR Meetup — a community for UX researchers in the Los Angeles area and beyond. All experience levels welcome.
