Land your next design role with a CV that showcases your user research skills, design process, and measurable impact on user experience.
UX Designer CVs must demonstrate strong research skills. Highlight user interviews conducted, usability tests run, and insights uncovered. Mention specific methodologies (contextual inquiry, card sorting, tree testing), sample sizes, and how your research informed design decisions that improved user satisfaction.
Show your end-to-end design process from research to prototyping to validation. Mention tools you're proficient in (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, Miro), design systems you've built, and collaboration with engineering teams. Include wireframing, prototyping, and design system work with specific examples.
Quantify your design impact: conversion rate improvements, task completion time reductions, user satisfaction score increases, support ticket decreases. Show how your design decisions moved business metrics. A/B test results, usability scores, and NPS improvements are gold.
Link to your portfolio prominently. Mention design awards, published case studies, conference talks, or contributions to design communities. Show you're passionate about craft. If you've mentored designers, led design critiques, or established design practices, highlight that leadership.
