CV for designers
Balance a clean CV with a portfolio that does the talking.
Your CV should be well-designed but readable. Use restraint — a recruiter needs to parse it quickly.
Lead with a summary, then experience. For each role, describe the product, your scope, and measurable outcomes.
Link your portfolio prominently. The CV gets you to the portfolio; the portfolio gets you the interview.
Mention the tools you use and any design systems you've built or contributed to.
