A UX Designer resume must balance visual presentation with clear communication of your design process and impact. Recruiters look for evidence of user-centred thinking, research skills, and measurable improvements to user experience. Your resume should complement your portfolio by providing context and metrics behind your design work.
Place your portfolio URL in the header alongside your contact information. This is the most important link on your resume.
Describe your design philosophy, specialisation area, and how you approach solving user problems in 2-3 sentences.
For each role, describe the products you worked on, your specific design contributions, and the measurable outcomes of your work.
Include design tools (Figma, Sketch), research methods (interviews, surveys, A/B tests), and frameworks (Design Thinking, Lean UX) you use.
