Craftfolio

Designer resume templates

A designer's resume is part of the portfolio — it should show taste and still be easy to read. These layouts lean on typography, rules and colour instead of clip-art.

Several designs here use colour and sidebars; if you are also applying through portals, keep an ATS-safe version alongside.

Prism

Saturated sidebar carrying your name, profile and skills.

Previews use sample content. Every template can be re-coloured and re-typeset in the editor.

What to include

  • A link to your portfolio

    Put your portfolio URL beside your name; it is the first thing most reviewers click.

  • Process and outcomes

    Show the problem, your role and the result rather than only the deliverable.

  • Tools, briefly

    Name the design and prototyping tools you actually use; leave out skill bars.

  • One clear accent colour

    Pick a palette that suits your discipline and keep the rest neutral so print stays legible.

Frequently asked questions

Are these designer resume templates free to use?
Yes. Every Craftfolio template is free: create an account, pick a design, fill in your details and download a PDF or DOCX with no watermark.
Can I change the template later?
Yes. Your content is stored separately from the design, so you can switch templates, colours or fonts at any time without retyping anything. Folio, Manifest and Pinnacle are labelled ATS-safe; Prism is the most colourful and is not.
