A UX designer resume should balance visual appeal with clear communication of your design process, research skills, and measurable impact. Hiring managers want to see how you solve problems for users, not just that you can make things look pretty.

Lead with outcomes, not tools. Instead of saying 'Used Figma to create wireframes,' say 'Redesigned onboarding flow in Figma, increasing activation by 28%.' Include a link to your portfolio — it's the most important element. Describe your process: research, ideation, testing, iteration.
Your portfolio matters more than your resume. Include 3-5 case studies showing your complete design process from research to final design. Each case study should cover the problem, your approach, key decisions, and measurable results. Show before-and-after comparisons when possible.
