How to write a UX designer resume

Process over polish

Show your design thinking process — research, ideation, iteration, testing. Portfolios show the outcome; your resume should show how you got there.

Quantify UX outcomes

Task completion rate, error rate reduction, time-on-task, NPS, conversion, drop-off — UX has measurable outcomes. If you have them, they belong in your bullets.

Link your portfolio prominently

Put your portfolio URL in the header, right next to your name. For designers, the portfolio is the resume. Make it impossible to miss.

Tools show your working style

Figma, Sketch, Principle, Framer, Maze, Hotjar, Dovetail — name the tools you use fluently. ATS systems scan for these, and teams want to know you can work in their stack.

Research is a superpower

Many designers undersell their research skills. If you run user interviews, usability tests, card sorts, or tree tests, say so explicitly — it's a major differentiator.

Distinguish IC from lead roles

Did you own the design end-to-end or contribute to a team? Did you run design critiques or manage junior designers? Scope and ownership are what separate mid from senior.
