Tailor my resumeWhy This Resume Works
- The booking-flow bullet ties interface work to an outcome ("Raised completed appointment bookings by 18%") and says exactly what changed on screen, which answers the "portfolio without outcomes" problem.
- Design system work is specific: 140 components, variants and auto layout, light and dark modes, 4 designers using it, so "design system" and "components" read as experience rather than keywords.
- Handoff gets its own proof in two jobs (tokens synced to the React Native theme file, redlines and build checks at the agency), which is what engineering-heavy teams screen UI designers for.
- Accessibility is shown with a number a reviewer can trust: 32 screens brought to WCAG 2.2 AA and 57 issues fixed before an external audit.
- A clear early-career path (internship, junior agency role, in-house UI designer) shows growing scope without inflating the title.
Common Resume Mistakes
- Portfolio-only without outcome or process.
- Missing Figma or design system keywords.
- No metrics (conversion, iteration time).
Keywords Recruiters Look For
