Meet Your Facilitator

Jan Haaland
UX Consultant at Webstep 🇳🇴

I was lucky to discover my passion at an early age, designing my first website in 1996 (fan site for a punk rock-band called The Clash.)

As a professional, I’ve been at it for over 12 years. Working in agencies, huge corporate companies, co-founded a studio, and now (in my final from) as a consultant.

In 2015 I founded Case Study Club (16.000+ members strong) and I've been lucky to have made life-long connections to some amazing people.

I love helping designers on their journey to becoming their best self. I hope I'll get the opportunity to be working with you.

FAQ

Will there be a cost to joining Case Study Club Pro?
Yes, there's a cost if you choose to accept your invitation to join. For new members the cost is currently $147/qtr or $297/yr. You can cancel anytime or get your money back within our generous 30-day money-back guarantee.

Is this a course or what?
It started out as a course on building a UX portfolio. However, after asking participants what they really needed, the answer was community, accountability and support. You'll still get all the lessons from the course included, but the new format has a more immersive and collaborative approach. I'm designing this as I would design any other product, which means it will continue to evolve and improve over time.

Should I start from scratch or modify what I already have?
I’d say keep everything you’re happy with and modify the rest. If it’s already working for you the way you intended, then you’re set. Implement what you’ve picked up that could improve your current state. Unlike movies, the second version of your portfolio often makes better sequences.

I don't feel like I have enough "good" work... Can I still join?
A lot of designers think they need 10x projects in their portfolio. That's not true. In fact, some of the most successful UX portfolios I've seen only have ~2-3 projects. It's how you present your work and position yourself that matters.

One of my jobs in this community is to help you find out what makes your work unique and what to focus on. You don't need a massive project, spanning from A – Z. It could be parts of a project, say you make a case study about how you got from E – F. Everything will become clear once you see the approach.

What if I join and don't like it, can I get my money back?
After you've accepted your invitation and joined Case Study Club Pro, there's a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like it for whatever reason, I'll refund you every cent. No problem!

Have Questions?

Feel free to email me anytime jan@casestudy.club. Always happy to hear from you!

All the best,
Jan from Case Study Club
