# UI Designer Resumes That Pass ATS and Get You the Call

Your portfolio shows the work--your resume gets you on the list. Here's how to structure it so recruiters and hiring managers both say yes.

## What to Put on a UI Designer Resume

Lead with a short summary: your focus (product UI, design systems, etc.) and what you're looking for. Then experience: 3-5 bullets per role that mix what you designed (features, systems, flows), how (Figma, prototyping), and what improved (usability, consistency, launch).
Use keywords from the job description--Figma, design systems, component libraries, accessibility--in your bullets. Link your portfolio in the header; many UI roles expect to see work before the interview.

## Format and Keywords for UI Resumes

Single-column, clear headings, no graphics in the body--ATS-friendly. One page for under 7 years; two pages max for senior and lead. Lead with experience; keep education and skills concise.
Outcomes first when you can: "Designed checkout flow that reduced drop-off by 20%." If you don't have metrics, describe scope: "Led design system used across 5 product teams."

## Resume and Portfolio in Tandem

Your resume gets you past the first filter; your portfolio gets you the interview. Keep both updated and consistent--same name, same roles, same focus. A clean resume with a prominent portfolio link is the standard for UI and product design roles.
