Graphic Designer CV Example

Brand systems, campaign output and production discipline — creative work with delivery numbers.

Graphic design CVs sell the wrong thing when they only claim creativity — clients and employers also buy reliability at volume. This example pairs the creative highlights (rebrands, campaigns) with the production numbers (assets shipped, deadlines held, print runs with zero errors) that make a designer safe to hire.

Why this CV works

Creative wins carry commercial results (order lift, sold-out run) — the language non-designer employers decide in.
Production reliability (120 assets/month, zero reprints, calendar never missed) answers the real anxiety about creative hires.
Budget and supplier management widen the role beyond the canvas.
The pre-flight checklist adopted group-wide shows influence on how others work.

The professional summary

Graphic Designer with 7 years across agency and in-house teams. Led the rebrand of a 14-outlet F&B group (identity, packaging, signage) credited with a 22% lift in delivery-app orders, produces 120+ campaign assets monthly across print and digital, and has run three years of packaging print runs without a single reprint. Adobe Creative Suite native; motion in After Effects.

Pair one creative headline (the rebrand) with one reliability headline (the zero-reprint streak). Portfolios prove taste; the CV must prove you ship on time at volume.

Writing the work experience

Quantify output, cadence and error rates alongside the creative highlights. "Zero reprints in three years" is a designer bullet no adjective can match.

ATS tips for Graphic Designers

Name each Adobe application separately — "Adobe Creative Suite" alone under-matches tool filters.
Include "graphic design" and "visual design" once each; ads split between them.
If you do motion, write "After Effects" and "motion graphics" — a fast-growing filter pair.

ATS checks help identify potential compatibility issues, but employers and ATS platforms use different criteria — no template or score can guarantee an outcome.

Writing tips

Print-production wins (zero reprints, supplier management) differentiate strongly — few designers claim them.
Attach business outcomes to creative work wherever a client measured one.
Keep the CV typographically restrained — the CV itself is a specimen of your judgement.
