UX designer CV template: an example to customize
A UX designer's CV has one job: get the recruiter to your portfolio. Listing Figma and “user-centred” isn't enough — everyone does that. What a design lead wants to see: the portfolio link in the header, the kind of problems you tackle, your research method, and the measured product impact.
Fictional example CV — every section is editable in the builder.

3 tips to make your ux designer CV stand out
1. Portfolio first, everywhere
Short URL in the header, repeated on key projects. A design recruiter spends under 30 seconds on the CV before clicking. A CV with no portfolio link is almost a rejection.
2. One project = problem + method + impact
“Checkout redesign: 12 interviews, 2 usability tests, +18% conversion” proves reasoning. “Checkout mockups” only proves execution.
3. Show research, not just UI
Many CVs confuse UX and UI. Name your discovery methods and your trade-offs: that's what separates a product designer from a mockup maker.
