Build a UX/UI Designer Resume That Gets Interviews

Free templates, ATS keywords, and resume tips written specifically for UX/UI Designer roles.

A UX/UI resume's real job is to get someone to click through to the portfolio -- the resume itself rarely closes the interview alone, so every line should build the case that the portfolio is worth ten more minutes.

What actually makes a difference

  • Put your portfolio link directly under your name, not buried at the bottom -- it's the actual audition, and this is the single most common miss.
  • Name your tools precisely (Figma, not "design software") and mention if you've built or contributed to a design system -- increasingly a hard filter.
  • Quantify impact where you can: conversion lift, task-completion-rate improvement, or reduced support tickets from a redesign are concrete proof.
  • Keep the resume's own visual design clean and restrained -- an over-designed resume can work against a strong portfolio by looking like it's trying too hard.

Lead with a portfolio link and 2-3 named case studies instead of a long chronological history -- for design roles, the work samples do more persuading than the resume text.
