Product Designer Resume Example
Based on Sarah Chen’s resume, built with the Modern template
A design-forward layout that doubles as a small proof of design sense.
Why this works
- The resume itself is a design artifact — for a design role, visual polish is part of the qualification, not just decoration
- A two-column layout keeps tools and skills scannable in a sidebar, next to a focused experience column
- Portfolio link sits in the header where it won't get missed
