A template for designers who turn research into products people love.
UX designers shape how products feel to use — from the layout of a checkout page to the flow of a mobile banking app. Daily work includes user research, wireframing, prototyping in Figma, running usability tests, and collaborating closely with product managers and frontend engineers to make sure designs are actually buildable. They work in tech companies, design agencies, financial services, healthcare, and e-commerce. Most report to a Head of Design or Design Lead and present work regularly to product and engineering stakeholders.
UX Designer with 3 years of experience crafting intuitive digital experiences for fintech and e-commerce products. Specialise in user research, interaction design, and cross-functional collaboration.
UX Designer CVs need to balance creative skills with analytical thinking. Recruiters want to see user research methodology, measurable design improvements (conversion rate uplifts, drop-off reductions), and evidence of cross-functional collaboration. If you built a design system or established research practices at a company, highlight these — they show leadership beyond individual contributor work.
Figma, user research, prototyping, usability testing, interaction design, design systems, accessibility (WCAG), wireframing, and information architecture. If you can code HTML/CSS or use analytics tools, include those as differentiators.
Many UX designers focus too much on their tools and not enough on their process. "Expert in Figma" is not a result. "Redesigned mobile onboarding flow reducing drop-off rate by 34%" is. Also, do not forget to mention your portfolio URL. A UX CV without a portfolio link is a red flag for recruiters.
Your CV itself is a design artifact — make it look good but keep it scannable. Do not over-design it with complex layouts. Use clear hierarchy, consistent spacing, and a professional font. Include your portfolio URL prominently in the header.
Figures in USD. Ranges reflect mid-level experience (3–7 years). Senior roles and major metro areas typically sit at the top of these bands.
Apple and Google set the bar for craft — your portfolio needs pixel-perfect work and a clear design system story. Fintech companies like Stripe or Wise want designers who can simplify complexity and show measurable impact on key flows like onboarding or payment completion. Agencies like IDEO or ustwo expect strong research skills and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Smaller startups care most about speed and pragmatism — show that you can deliver good-enough fast and iterate.
