How to format a UX designer resume

• Single column, standard headings — even for designers, the resume itself must be ATS-parseable.
• Link your portfolio in the contact line; the resume proves outcomes, the portfolio proves craft.
• Lead with impact metrics, not just deliverables.
• Save the visual flair for your portfolio — keep the resume clean. See our ATS guide.

Resume writing tips

• Show business impact ("+34% activation"), not just "designed screens."
• Describe your process — research, prototyping, testing, iteration.
• Name your tools (Figma, prototyping, design systems) as ATS keywords. See resume tailoring.
• Include a portfolio link — it's expected for design roles.

Common resume mistakes

• A heavily designed resume that ATS can't read.
• Listing tools without outcomes.
• No portfolio link.
• One generic resume for every role. Here's why callbacks stall.

Skill requirements

• Design: Figma, Sketch, prototyping, UI design
• Research: User interviews, usability testing, surveys
• Systems: Design systems, accessibility (WCAG)
• Collaboration: Working with PMs and engineers
