The Ultimate UX Case Study Template

case study figma template

Having a template to follow is the biggest help in UX case study writing. Even more so, if you’re a junior who doesn’t have much experience with portfolios. A template can help you plan, organize your thoughts while showing you the light at the end of the tunnel.

The UXfolio team reads hundreds of case studies every month. What we’ve found is that successful UX case studies have a similar structure. In this article, we’ve distilled this formula into a flexible UX case study template and some practical tips that you can use to polish your case studies!

About UX case studies in general:

Before you get to work, we need to clarify a few important details. Doing so will help you understand the expectations and the purpose of UX case studies:

What are UX case studies?

UX case studies are a form of professional content that mixes text and visuals to present the design process of products or product features. They make up UX portfolios, alongside optional pages such as ‘About Me’ or ‘Contact’.

How are they different from UX portfolios?

UX portfolios are made of UX case studies. Think of your portfolio as a folder that holds together your case studies. Back in the day, these used to be printed, book-like documents. Nowadays the industry prefers websites and other digital formats .

How are they different from resumés?

Your resumé lists your skills and work experience. Meanwhile, your portfolio uses case studies to showcase how you apply those skills and experience . Ultimately, you’ll need both to land a job.

How many case studies should be in a portfolio?

If you’re a junior UX designer , you should include 2-3 case studies in your portfolio. These could describe UX bootcamp assignments, re-design concepts, UX challenges , internship projects , or even fictional products. If you’re a medior or senior UX designer, write up 4-5 of your most impressive projects into case studies. Your goal should be to feature as many of your skills as possible. And remember: quality over quantity.

What to feature in your UX case studies?

Since your career depends on your UX portfolio, there’s a lot of pressure that comes with putting one together. Usually, it’s this pressure that numbs designers and leads to procrastination. But just setting straight what lays ahead will help ease your mind:

The story of your design

Design decisions, visuals with explanations.

This might sound very esoteric, but it’s really not. For every design, there was at least one problem that required a solution. You were the person who explored the problem and found the solution/solutions. There might have been moments when the whole thing went off-rails, or when you needed to go back to the drawing board. Those are all part of your design story.

Now, imagine that a friend, peer, or colleague asks you about a project. How would you talk about it? That’s almost exactly what you should put in your case studies. Just polish it a bit, leave out the curse words, add visuals and you have a case study.

Throughout the design process, you keep making decisions. Choosing a UX method to apply is a decision too, and there’s a reason why you chose it. Your UX case studies need to highlight these decisions and their contribution to the design.

The biggest mistake in UX case studie s is when UXers go on defining instead of explaining:

  • Definition ➡️ “I proceeded to do an in-depth competitive analysis to find out more about competing apps in the same category.”
  • Explanation ➡️ “I proceeded to do an in-depth competitive analysis to make a list of features that were missing from our products, check out how others solved the XY flow, and find out how could we improve on it in our solution.”

Then you’ll move on to explain what you’ve found and as your case study progresses, you reference those findings.

You need to be heavy-handed with your visuals when you’re creating UX case studies. Using images alongside your text will help your readers’ comprehension. So, as a first step, collect everything you can: photos, sketches, whiteboard grabs, graphs, personas, screenshots, wireframes, user flows, prototypes, mood boards, notes, and so on.

We’ve seen some creative UXers use screenshots of calls (with blurred-out faces), group photos, and prototypes of all fidelity. Such visuals help us understand what we’re reading about. But they also build an image in our heads of the designer behind the screen, which can be very powerful and memorable.

Some designers are already in the habit of keeping every scrap of paper with a scribble on it because they know that when it comes to writing a case study, you can’t have enough visuals. Follow their example to make your easier – your future self will thank you.

But it’s not enough to just throw some images into a case study. Here’s how you can make them impactful:

  • Always give context ➡️ if you put that stunning photo of the wall with post-its into your case study, make sure that you place it in a section where you explain what’s happening on it (see design decisions) or give it a caption that explains it. The important thing is that visuals will only work if they are strategically placed or they come with an explanation.
  • Strive for visual consistency ➡️ even if it requires some extra work, you should make sure that your visuals match each other. Yes, a persona and the user flow might not be close to each other on your layout, but they’re still in the same document so they need to have consistent styling. Believe me, this is a common criticism from design leads and HR folk as well.

How long should be a case study?

If you check a site like Behance, you’ll find that most UX projects there are rather short. Usually, they focus on the visual aspects of design, aka UI. That is a fantastic starting point for a case study. But for UX design, you will need to add some content for context.

The good news is that you don’t need to write essays for case studies. All it takes is around 500 words and some well-optimized visuals. You should never stretch your words because it’ll reflect poorly on your presentation skills. 

Also, treat this number with flexibility: If the project at hand justifies it, feel free to go above or below that. Usually, when a case study is very long, it’s because the project itself was more complicated.

What’s the point of UX case studies?

1. applied designer skills.

It’s one thing to learn a skill and it’s another to use it in a way that can help drive numbers for a business. A great UX case study will prove that you are capable of applying your skills and delivering a solution even with all the distractions and obstacles that come with real-life scenarios.

2. Presentation skills

Many UXers forget about the skills that are required beyond UX. Just read a few UX designer job descriptions , and you’ll find that advocating for design best practices is one of the most common requirements.

As a designer, you’ll have many stakeholder meetings and you’ll need to present your or your team’s ideas. And the fate of those ideas might depend on the way they’re presented. Therefore, the way you articulate your thoughts is important. A great UX case study will show that you are great at structuring your thoughts and articulating complex concepts.

3. The impact of your design

You can see in our UX case study template that there’s a separate section for showcasing your impact. If you can prove that your design can drive numbers, you’re set. This is the single most powerful tool that you can use in a case study: before-and-after analytics, such as an increase in checkouts, increase in finished flows, better CTRs, user feedback, etc. Use whatever number you have to show that your design contributed to the business. It’ll convince even the UX-doubters.

Obviously, as an aspiring/junior designer , this might be impossible, so you need to be a bit more creative. We advise you to show what impact the project had on you: what you’ve learned and how you’ve improved as a designer.

4. Navigating in a team

Almost every product is a collaborative effort between professionals from various disciplines: researchers, designers, developers, marketers, etc. Therefore, navigating in a collaborative environment is an important trait. A case study should show how the team influenced the design, how you’ve collaborated with other designers, the sacrifices that had to be made, and so on.

You don’t need an elaborate plan for this. First and foremost, make sure that you introduce the team in your case study. Second, ask for quotes/recommendations and include them in a neat quotes section. Yes, tooting your own horn can be a bit uncomfortable, but unfortunately, it’s part of the game.

5. Showcase of your taste

Yes, it’s UX, but the reality is that most people don’t care: if what you present doesn’t appeal to them, it’s unlikely that you’ll get the job. Make sure that your UX case studies are visually consistent. If you want to cast a wider net, strive for sleek, minimalist solutions and harmonizing colors.

A simple yet effective UX case study template

This is a tried-and-true UX case study template that can provide a structure to your thoughts. There are 6 chapters that are standard for almost any UX case study. However, the content of these chapters is highly dependent on the project you’re writing about. But don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that we’ll leave you on your own: for each chapter, we’ll give you various options and ideas to help you get going.

UX case study template/skeleton:

  • Hero section
  • Project overview
  • Exploration/Discovery
  • UX design process
  • Final design

1. Hero section

All case studies should begin with a title & subtitle. You can use various formulas for your title, but we’ve found that this is the one that works the best:

  • App name + project scope + project/case study = Netflix Checkout Redesign Project

Your subtitle can provide a glimpse into the project, for which you have various options:

  • What’s the product about? (An app that helps you keep your plants alive.)
  • What was the project about? (6-week UX design and research project)

If you want to include something visual in your hero section go hard or go home: use spoilers, aka show screens of the final design. You don’t have to fit everything there, just the parts you’re most proud of as an appetizer. Later in the case study, you’ll have enough space to showcase everything you’ve worked on.

  • 2 sentences (titles), and
  • 1 optional cover image.

case study figma template

2. Project overview

Make sure that your readers are prepared for what’s to come. Remember: they know nothing about this project, so you need to cover the bases:

  • Product description,
  • Team members,
  • Project length,
  • Methods used, and
  • 3-4 sentences for the overview, and
  • 4-5 bulletpoints for the small details.

Screenshot of a project overview section in a UX case study

3. Exploration/discovery

Now that we have all the background information, we can move on to how you’ve approached the issue you were presented with. This part usually includes:

  • Competitive analysis,
  • Interviews, and

Make sure that for everything you mention you answer at least these three questions:

  • Why did you choose to do it?
  • What did you find out?
  • How did that influence your next move?

You can end this chapter with a wrap-up to create a smooth transition to the next chapter.

  • At least 3-4 sentences for each method you’ve used,
  • Visualize as much information as you can.

Screenshot of a survey section in a UX case study

4. UX design process

Now that we understand the scope of the project, we’re eager to see how you went on to design a solution. You can achieve a great structure here if you start from more abstract ideas and move towards the final design:

  • Wireframes,
  • Prototypes,
  • Iteration, and
  • Validation.

Again, you need to answer a few questions for every step you made:

  • What did you want to achieve by doing this?
  • How did this step contribute to the final design?
  • At least 3-5 sentences for every method you mention.

case study figma template

5. Final design

Probably the most exciting part of every UX case study is the reveal of the final design. In this section, you should explain

  • Why did you choose this solution?
  • What other solutions were in the run?
  • Before-and-after screenshots (if relevant to the project).

There are two great options to present your final designs. The first is to use galleries. You can go with a nice carousel or a grid that follows a logical order. The second is to embed your Figma prototype. This has the added benefit of making your case study interactive, which makes for a more memorable experience. (Or you can combine the two for an even better showing.)

  • 2-3 short paragraphs.

Screenshot of UIs presented in a grid gallery

If you have numbers or analytics that show how your design contributed to business goals, you need to showcase them. This will make your case study even more impactful. You don’t need graphs and piecharts (unless you have the time to create some); it’s enough to make a list with the quantifiable data. If you don’t have access to such data , you can also include testimonials and user quotes to underline impact. If you can include both, that’s a winning combination.

  • At least 1 sentence for each achievement.
  • In a bulleted list or short paragraph.

6. Learnings

There’s something to learn even from the most boring project you’ve ever done. At least, you should strive to find something positive that can contribute to your growth as a designer. This can be a soft skill, a new tool, a new method, or a different way of cooperation. Try to think of things that were new to you in this project and share the takeaways with your readers. Alternative closures include:

  • What would I do differently?
  • Jobs to be done
  • This chapter can be as long as you please, but
  • At least 3-4 sentences.

Alternate UX case study templates

We’ve provided a classic UX case study template that has been proven to be working. Now, we’ll show you how you can alter this template for different flows:

UI focused case study template

If you’re strong in UI, you should not wait to reveal your final design until the end of your case study. You needn’t worry about spoiling the surprise as a case study is not a fiction novel or Netflix show. A beautiful design will pull in your readers. What’s more, if the company doesn’t really know the difference between UI and UX, this approach will make your case study even more impactful as it’ll start with the ‘beautiful stuff’.

Here’s how that template would go:

  • Project Overview
  • Transition to the next section by letting your reader know that you’ll explain how you’ve arrived at this solution.
  • Exploration/discovery
  • (Optional: Showcase even more of your final designs)

Impact driven case study template

Every product has a business behind it. And what you can do for that business is what matters to stakeholders. We can all conclude that a screen is pretty, but if it doesn’t contribute to business goals or KPIs, it’s just that, a pretty screen. So, if you have some numbers to share, don’t be afraid to put them right after your intro section. Then go on and showcase how you’ve achieved it:

  • Share numbers then follow up by showcasing the design which contributed them:

Top companies want to see your design process and decisions in your portfolio

case study figma template

A typical mistake I see in UX portfolios is lack of content explaining their contribution to the effort, the images are only the final product and not the process to get there.

UX is very much about strategy and if the person is not showing how they got from A to B, they appear to be another UI trying to move into a UX role.

How to Create a Figma Template for a Case Study Report

In today's digital age, effective communication is key when it comes to presenting information and data. One way to ensure clear and engaging communication is through a well-designed case study report. A case study report allows you to showcase your expertise, highlight your achievements, and provide valuable insights to your audience. In this article, we will explore how to create a Figma template for a case study report, and why it is important in the realm of digital asset management.

Understanding the Importance of a Well-Designed Case Study Report

Before diving into the specifics of creating a Figma template, it is essential to understand the importance of a well-designed case study report. A visually appealing and well-structured report can significantly enhance the effectiveness of your communication. It not only helps you convey your message clearly but also grabs the attention of your audience, keeping them engaged throughout the entire reading experience.

When it comes to case study reports, it's not just about presenting the information. It's about creating a narrative that captivates your readers and takes them on a journey. A well-designed report allows you to tell a story, showcasing your expertise and problem-solving skills in a compelling way. It's an opportunity to demonstrate the value you bring to the table and leave a lasting impression on your audience.

Imagine you're presenting a case study to potential clients. You want to make sure that your report stands out from the rest and leaves a lasting impression. A well-designed report can help you achieve that. It shows that you've put thought and effort into presenting your findings, and it reflects your professionalism and attention to detail.

Why a well-designed case study report is crucial for effective communication

A case study report provides an opportunity for you to showcase your expertise, demonstrate problem-solving skills, and highlight the value you bring to the table. However, even if you have valuable insights and great content, if it is not presented in an engaging and visually appealing way, your message may get lost or fail to resonate with your audience. A well-designed case study report ensures that your information is organized, easily digestible, and visually captivating.

When your report is well-designed, it becomes more than just a collection of data and analysis. It becomes a story that your readers can follow and understand. It helps them connect the dots and see the bigger picture. A well-designed report guides your readers through the information, making it easier for them to absorb and remember the key points.

Moreover, a well-designed case study report can help you establish credibility and trust with your audience. When your report looks professional and polished, it gives the impression that you know what you're talking about. It shows that you've done your research, analyzed the data, and come up with meaningful insights. This can go a long way in building trust and convincing your audience of the value you can provide.

The benefits of using Figma for creating case study templates

So, take the time to invest in the design of your case study reports and reap the benefits of effective communication.

Gathering the Necessary Information for Your Case Study Report

Before diving into the design process, it is crucial to gather all the necessary information for your case study report. This includes identifying the key components that should be included in your report and conducting thorough research and data collection.

Identifying the key components of a case study report

Every case study report should include certain key components to convey a clear and compelling message. These components typically include an introduction, problem statement, methodology, results, analysis, and conclusion. By identifying these key components, you can ensure that your case study report covers all the essential information.

Conducting thorough research and data collection for your case study

A case study report is only as strong as the research and data it is based on. It is crucial to conduct thorough research and collect reliable data to support your findings. This may involve interviews, surveys, data analysis, or any other method relevant to your case study. By gathering accurate data, you can provide valuable insights and strengthen the credibility of your case study report.

Planning the Structure and Layout of Your Figma Template

Now that you have gathered all the necessary information, it's time to plan the structure and layout of your Figma template. Having a clear and well-organized structure will make it easier for your audience to navigate through your case study report.

Determining the sections and subsections of your case study report

Dividing your case study report into sections and subsections helps to create a logical flow of information. It allows your readers to easily find the information they are looking for and navigate through your report effortlessly. Determine the main sections and subsections based on the components you identified earlier, and organize your content accordingly.

Sketching out a wireframe for your Figma template

Before diving into the design phase, it can be useful to sketch out a wireframe of your Figma template. A wireframe is a simple visual representation of the layout and structure of your template. It helps you visualize the placement of different elements and makes it easier to iterate on your design. Sketch out the basic layout, considering the sections, subsections, and any visual elements you plan to include.

Designing the Visual Elements of Your Figma Template

Now comes the time to bring your Figma template to life by designing the visual elements. A visually appealing design enhances the readability and engagement of your case study report.

Choosing an appropriate colour scheme and typography for your case study report

The colour scheme and typography you choose for your case study report greatly impact its overall visual appeal and readability. It is important to select colours that are visually pleasing and in line with your brand identity. Similarly, choose typography that is easy to read and complements the content. Consistency in the use of colours and typography throughout your report creates a cohesive and professional design.

Creating visually appealing charts, graphs, and illustrations

Visual elements such as charts, graphs, and illustrations can help simplify complex data and make it more digestible for your audience. Use Figma's design tools to create visually appealing and informative charts and graphs. Additionally, consider incorporating illustrations or images that enhance the overall visual appeal of your case study report, while maintaining relevance to the content.

Adding Interactive Elements to Enhance User Experience

Nowadays, interactivity plays a crucial role in enhancing user experience and engaging your audience. Adding interactive elements to your Figma template can further elevate the effectiveness of your case study report.

Incorporating clickable prototypes and interactive elements in your Figma template

With Figma, you can easily create clickable prototypes that allow your audience to navigate through different sections of your case study report seamlessly. Interactive elements such as animated transitions, hover effects, or interactive infographics can further engage your audience and make your report stand out.

Enhancing navigation and usability through interactive features

Consider incorporating interactive features that improve navigation and usability. This might include interactive table of contents, clickable links, or tooltips that provide additional information. By providing an interactive and user-friendly experience, you ensure that your audience can easily access and understand the content of your case study report.

In conclusion, creating a Figma template for a case study report is a valuable tool in the realm of digital asset management. A well-designed report enhances communication, engages the audience, and ensures the effective delivery of your message. By understanding the importance of a well-designed case study report, gathering the necessary information, planning the structure and layout, designing visual elements, and adding interactive features, you can create a compelling and visually appealing Figma template for your case study report.

Reduced meeting time.

Saved time in weekly stand-up meetings by 50%

Accelerated onboarding

Sped up employee onboarding as the company grew to over 100 employees in 2.5 years

Enhanced culture

Built a culture of trust and accountability with cross-functional partners

The company today has over 1 million signups, $82 million in funding, and more than 100 employees, but when Badrul joined, the company looked very different. The team was small and Figma had yet to launch publicly. At the time, they were using JIRA to manage product development, but it was too complex for their workflows and created management overhead as the team and product grew. The teams needed an easy-to-use platform that would scale up and carry them through their public launch and beyond.

quotation mark

My role as a PM involves a lot of alignment, a lot of communication, and a lot of connecting groups of people to make sure they have what they need to make each other successful. We needed a lightweight tool that could scale with us for a while. ”

Finding a lightweight way to manage development backlogs

Badrul wanted to find a flexible and straightforward tool that could manage product and engineering backlogs. But the bigger picture was also crucial. He needed to connect cross-functional teams across the company during large launches when all hands were on deck. This would provide organizational transparency and build accountability through clear plans, responsibilities, and deadlines.

Testing and rolling out Asana

Badrul first tested Asana with just one team, to confirm that it was easier to use than their existing system. He then migrated the entire product and engineering teams’ work from JIRA to Asana, and shared light trainings and documentation with the team to preview the tool. Because of Asana’s flexibility, different teams could use it in the way that best fit their specific needs and workflows.

Asana is our execution engine: do this, build this, test this, update these docs. One of the nicest parts is that one team’s workflow doesn’t have to match another team’s. ”

Building trust through transparency

Visibility is baked into all product and engineering work through Asana. When Figma develops a new feature, they create a product spec document, and the moment the team aligns on it, it’s transferred to an Asana project. To make this faster, they use a project template that includes the typical steps and milestones for the product manager, designer, and engineers involved.

Figma plugins

The project board becomes the new source of truth. The tasks and timelines keep everyone aligned and accountable because everyone can see who’s working on what. For broader launches, cross-functional teams also manage tasks and due dates in Asana, and they attach files to capture strategy and other details.

Asana builds trust within and between teams. We know when things are due and who’s going to deliver them, and we hold each other accountable. That trust is critical to a team’s success. ”

As work progresses, Asana becomes a detailed record of action and discussion, which provides a historical artifact for the organization and anyone who needs to understand why a decision was made. This speeds up employee onboarding, helps transition teammates to new roles, and even shortens meetings.

The product and engineering teams have been able to cut down their stand-up meeting time by 50%, saving an hour or two every week, because they no longer need to share status updates about what they’re working on—it’s all in Asana. Instead, the whole meeting is spent solving difficult problems together.

Onboarding new employees is a breeze. People moving between teams is no issue whatsoever. And because communication is centralized, it saves us a ton of overhead. ”

The next frontier: bringing powerful design tools to non-designers

What’s next for Figma? They’ll be moving forward on their vision to make design accessible to more people—who aren’t necessarily professional designers—and help them bring their creativity to life. All the products, features, and resources to make that possible will be managed in Asana. As Figma reaches these new markets, they’ll have a new wave of growth but Asana will be right there scaling up with them.

Building a Case Study

I don’t understand how to create a case study in Figma that you can animate. I have the case study laid out in a single frame and some additional frames that you could click on to go deeper into the work (like for a hiring manager). I can’t get the prototype to connect to anything but the main frame and I don’t understand why.
