UX and UI designer resume FAQ
Should a designer resume be creative?
Keep the resume itself plain and readable, and let the portfolio carry the visual work. A parser and a busy recruiter both need clear text.
What should a UX designer put in the skills section?
Group them as design, research and tools: for example interaction design, usability testing, journey mapping, Figma and accessibility.
