How the classic template is structured for a ux designer

The built resume opens with a summary naming your design focus and platform experience, followed by the portfolio URL in the header where recruiters expect it. Skills are grouped into research, design, and tools.

Experience bullets read in case-study order: the problem, the method, the measurable result. Education and certifications finish the page, with degrees in design or HCI listed with the year.

Customise the structure to your specialisation. Researchers should foreground studies, samples, and how findings changed roadmaps; product designers should show shipped flows; generalists should show range across the process. Tailor which two case studies lead — the recruiter reads the first screen and decides whether the portfolio opens. Keep the resume itself conservative: the work is in the portfolio, and a quiet document reads as confidence.

Layout advice for ux designers

• Keep a single column with strong section typography; let the portfolio carry the visual weight.

• Under each role, group bullets as research, design, and outcome so the process reads in order.

ATS notes for ux designer applications

• Do not embed icons or infographics for skill bars; name skills in plain text.

• Keep the portfolio URL as plain text (not hyperlink text alone) so it survives PDF parsing.
