A template for designers who bring brands to life.
Senior Graphic Designer with 4 years creating brand identities and marketing collateral for global lifestyle and tech brands. Specialise in visual storytelling, brand systems, and motion graphics.
Design hiring managers want to see breadth and depth. Show that you can work across brand identity, print, digital, and motion graphics. But also show depth in your specialty — if you are a brand designer, showcase identity systems you built from scratch. Include your portfolio URL in the header. A graphic design CV without a portfolio link will almost always be rejected.
Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Figma, typography, brand identity, print design, layout and composition, motion graphics (After Effects), and social media design. If you have photography or illustration skills, include those as well.
Over-designing your CV is the number one mistake. Your CV should demonstrate good design sense, but it is a professional document, not a poster. Avoid multiple fonts, excessive colour, and complex layouts that confuse ATS systems. Also, do not list every freelance project — curate the best examples and quantify the results.
Use a modern, clean template that subtly showcases your design sensibility. White space is your friend. Include a portfolio link in the header and mention specific project outcomes in your bullet points.
