What you get
Five resume layout variants built specifically for designers, delivered as editable files ready to open in Word or Google Docs. Every variant uses the same sample copy so you can evaluate layouts side by side, then drop in your own details once you have chosen a style.
Who it's for
Product, brand, UX, and visual designers — and creative directors — with roughly three to fifteen years of experience who are preparing for a serious job search and need a resume that reads as polished to a design-literate hiring manager as it does to an ATS.
What's inside
- Five layout variants — ranging from stripped-back minimal to editorial-bold, all sharing identical copy so direct comparison is possible before you commit to a look
- Portfolio URL callout — a dedicated, prominent display element in each variant that surfaces your portfolio link at the top of the page, not buried in a contact line
- Selected Projects section — a structured block for naming shipped work by title, your role, and the outcome, because the work itself is the primary argument
- Action Verb plus Context plus Quantified Outcome bullets — every sample bullet follows this framework, giving you a fill-in model for stating measurable impact clearly
- Realistic sample candidate arc — content tracks a mid-level IC through senior designer to creative director across product, brand, and UX contexts, making it straightforward to locate yourself in the material
- ATS-safe export formatting — heading hierarchy and font choices that survive automated parsing without stripping the visual character out of the layout
- WCAG-aware accent contrast — color choices across all five variants meet accessible contrast thresholds, so the design decisions are defensible, not just decorative
- Recruiter-tested spacing and hierarchy — line spacing, section order, and type scale have been calibrated against actual recruiter scan patterns for design and creative director roles
How to use it
Open the files in Word or Google Docs. Review all five variants using the shared sample copy to choose your layout, then work through one file at a time — replacing the sample candidate's details with your own experience, portfolio URL, and project outcomes. Most buyers have a working draft inside an hour.
