A graphic designer resume builder built around the things creative hiring managers look for first: a portfolio link, the tools you command, your design specialties, and a few projects with real outcomes. You fill a structured form and a clean, plain-text resume builds live beside it — the substance that sits behind your portfolio.
How it works
The header puts your portfolio URL front and centre, directly under your contact details, because for a designer that link is the work sample that earns the interview. From there you fill specialties (branding, UX/UI, print, motion), tools (Figma, the Adobe suite, web tools), and a repeatable selected projects section where each entry pairs a project with what you did and the result. Optional clients and awards sections add credibility, and standard experience and education close it out.
The right panel re-renders the full resume as you type in an ATS-friendly monospace layout. Your draft auto-saves to your browser’s local storage. Copy text copies it to your clipboard and Download .txt saves a plain-text file you can drop into any template.
Tips
Keep the resume itself plain and parseable — save the visual craft for the portfolio it points to. Many applications run resumes through an applicant tracking system that struggles with multi-column, image-heavy PDFs, so a clean text resume protects your content. Tie every project to an outcome and name the specific tools the job advert mentions.
Example
A senior designer might headline a coffee-brand rebrand (“identity, packaging and signage across 12 locations”) and a fintech app UX project (“onboarding for a 50k-user app”), list Figma and the Adobe suite, and add a short client list. With the portfolio URL one line below their name, a reviewer can see the work in a single click — exactly the path creative hiring follows.
