Frequently Asked Questions

Should a graphic designer resume be creative or simple?

It depends on the role. For in-house corporate design roles, a clean modern template works best — it passes ATS. For agency or freelance roles, a more creative layout can showcase your aesthetic sense. Always include a portfolio link regardless of template style.

What tools should a designer list on their resume?

List tools relevant to the role: Figma, Adobe XD, Illustrator, Photoshop, Sketch, InVision, After Effects, Canva. For UX roles, also include: user research, wireframing, prototyping, usability testing, and design systems.

How important is a portfolio link on a designer resume?

Critical. Place your portfolio URL in the header/contact section, not buried at the bottom. Use a custom domain if possible (yourname.design or behance.net/yourname). Recruiters will check it before calling you.
