The Deep Dive; featuring Tim Bridgham, Senior UX Researcher

[an AI-assisted portfolio experiment]

I've always found it tough to talk about my own accomplishments. I guess as a UX Researcher I’m better at listening to others talk. So with this in mind and the proliferation of so many AI-powered tools, I decided to take a creative approach and used a suite of AI technologies to craft what I’ve called “an AI-assisted portfolio experiment.” The goal was to showcase my UXR career in a unique, fun, and compelling way and, most importantly, to let it do the bragging for me.

I used the following technologies to create “The Deep Dive” podcast:

• Google NotebookLM - podcast-style audio creation

• Udio | AI Music Generator - music creation

• Canva - thumbnail creation (and video inspiration)

• Monica AI - video creation

• Google Gemini - copy refinement

Enjoy!

Two clarifying points: 

1. AI didn’t do all the work and I ensured that what was created would be 100% accurate to me and my work (source materials were my resume, a cover letter, and a few portfolio presentations I’ve created). I used these technologies to create the individual pieces and, after lots of fine tuning and editing, I stitched everything together to create this AI-assisted portfolio experiment.

2. My last name is pronounced “bridge-um” and GESA Credit Union is pronounced “ghee-suh.” Proof that AI is a power tool, not perfect, and far from taking over the world.
