UI/UX Designer CV Example
Research, flows and measurable usability wins — design work stated in outcomes, with the portfolio doing the visuals.
A designer's portfolio shows taste; the CV must show consequence. The strongest design CVs quantify what changed for users — completion rates, support tickets, conversion — and let the portfolio carry the pixels. This example keeps that division of labour strict.
Why this CV works
- Completion, abandonment and support-call numbers make design consequences legible to non-designers screening the CV.
- Research is presented at volume (300+ sessions), proving process rather than claiming empathy.
- The bilingual LTR/RTL design system is a genuinely differentiating, regional detail.
- The portfolio link is present but the CV stands alone — it survives being read without clicking.
The professional summary
UI/UX Designer with 6 years across fintech and government digital services. Redesigned a KYC onboarding flow that lifted completion from 54% to 81%, ran the research programme (300+ usability sessions) behind a service used by 2M residents, and maintains the 80-component Figma design system three squads build from. Portfolio at mayakassab.example.com.
Lead with your best flow-level metric and your research volume, then the portfolio link. Adjectives about creativity are wasted — reviewers judge creativity in the portfolio, consequence in the CV.
Writing the work experience
One bullet per capability: research, flows, systems, handoff, accessibility. Attach a user-behaviour number to each; where impossible, attach an adoption number (squads using the system).

ATS tips for UI/UX Designers
- Include "UI", "UX", "UI/UX" and "product design" — ads and filters use all four labels for the same job.
- "Figma" is a near-universal hard filter; name it in the summary as well as skills.
- "User research" and "usability testing" filter separately — include both phrases.
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
- Numbers about users (completion, errors, calls) beat numbers about output (screens designed).
- State research cadence and volume — it is the easiest honest way to prove process.
- RTL/bilingual experience is a differentiator in the Gulf market; surface it early if you have it.
Frequently asked questions
Does the CV matter if my portfolio is strong?
Yes — ATS and recruiters screen the CV before any human opens the portfolio. Both must survive their own reading.
How do I quantify design work without analytics access?
Borrow the numbers your PM tracks: support tickets, completion, task success in testing (n of 5 users). Ask for them before you leave a role.
UI or UX emphasis?
Mirror the ad. This example balances both; reorder bullets to tilt.
