Graphic designer resume example
As a designer, your resume is already a sample of your judgment: it must be clean, well-structured and support your portfolio rather than compete with it. This example uses the Modern template with a purple accent.
Template: Modern · Fictional example: names, companies and details are made up to illustrate the format.
Tips for this resume
- 1The portfolio link must be at the top and visible. Without it, a designer's resume is incomplete.
- 2Describe concrete projects (brands, pieces, print runs) instead of a list of software.
- 3Keep the resume design restrained: a clean template lets your portfolio take center stage.
- 4If you also work in digital (UI, motion, social), say so — it widens the jobs you fit.
Frequently asked questions
Should a graphic designer have a very creative resume?
Not necessarily. A clear, well-composed resume shows judgment. The creativity goes in the portfolio; the resume has to read fast and pass filters.
Which links should I include?
Your own portfolio first and, at most, one or two more profiles (Behance, Dribbble, a professional Instagram). Check that the links work.
