Noticed a big flaw in most UX portfolios at a local meetup last week
I went to a design meetup in Portland last Thursday and looked through maybe 15 portfolios people brought on their laptops. Almost everyone had case studies that showed the final screens but skipped over the messy middle part where actual decisions got made. One guy's project for a pet adoption app went straight from research notes to polished high-res mockups with no wireframes or usability test results. Am I wrong for thinking the ugly early sketches tell more about your process than the pretty final shots?

Exactly this. Ran into a similar thing at a coffee shop meetup in Austin where a guy's redesign had zero messy sticky notes or failed layouts and I just couldn't trust the final result.
