Product designer resume template
Short answer
Catalyst fits a senior product designer: it starts on your current role and has no summary, so the first lines a hiring manager reads are the squad you design for and what shipped. The fictional sample designs payroll software at a B2B company: discovery interviews, a redesigned setup flow that cut support tickets, a bulk import built around real user errors, and critiques she runs for the design team.

Why Catalyst suits a product designer resume
Catalyst opens straight on work experience and prints no summary, which suits a senior product designer whose current squad and shipped outcomes carry the application. Its large left-aligned name and teal headings over full-width rules give the page character without a colour band, and the portfolio link sits in the contact line.
Second choice: Daniel. Daniel keeps a summary and softer grey heading pills, better if you need a sentence explaining a move from agency or graphic design into product.
What goes in each section, in Catalyst's order
Catalyst prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.
- Work Experience. Show the whole arc in each role: what discovery found, what you designed, what shipped and what changed after launch. Product design is judged on outcomes shared with a PM and engineers, so name the squad and the metric you moved together.
- Skills. Put the end-to-end range (discovery, interaction design, prototyping, experiments) in Technical and the tools you learn from users with in Tools. A product analytics tool such as Amplitude is worth naming; it shows you look at behaviour after launch.
- Education. Degree, school and year. Product designers come from interaction design, graphic design, psychology and engineering; any of them fits on one line.
- Mentoring and writing. Mentoring, critiques you run and writing show the senior part of a senior title. Two items are enough.

How to make the sample yours
Open with your current squad and its problem
Replace payroll setup with the product area you own, and describe the problem in the customer's words.
Use the outcome metric your team reported
The drop in setup tickets is an illustration. Use your own: activation, task completion, tickets, conversion, retention. If the launch is too recent, give a usability test result instead.
Show that you design with constraints
The import bullet is built around the errors users really make. Keep one bullet that shows you worked with engineering limits or messy data rather than around them.
Let the headline carry your level
Catalyst has no summary, so the headline does that job: "Senior Product Designer, B2B SaaS" gives level and domain in one line.
Link one deep case study
For senior roles, a single case study that shows decisions, trade-offs and results beats six polished screens.
Keywords to keep where they are true

Mistakes to avoid
- Bullets that stop at handoff. Product design hiring managers want to know what happened after launch.
- A conversion lift you cannot explain. Say how it was measured or leave the number out.
- Describing a generic design process (empathize, define, ideate) instead of what you did on a real product.

Frequently asked questions
What should a senior product designer resume show?
Scope, outcomes and influence: the product area you own, results after launch, and how you raise other designers' work through critique, mentoring or design system contributions.
Product designer or UX designer: which title should I use?
Product designer roles stress end-to-end ownership inside a product team and the business results that follow; UX roles often centre more on research and flows. Companies use the titles loosely, so mirror the posting where your work supports it.
Should I include A/B test results?
Yes, if you designed the variants and can explain the setup. Write what you tested and the outcome; an interviewer may ask how long it ran and how the result was judged.
Where does a product designer explain a career switch?
Catalyst prints no summary, so a switch from graphic design, research or engineering is hard to explain on it. Choose a template that prints a summary, such as Daniel, and give the reason there in one or two sentences.
Will applicant tracking systems read this Catalyst PDF?
The sample PDF read back with its contact details, all 4 section headings and all 7 bullets intact in three open-source text extractors (pdf.js, pdftotext and pypdf). Commercial systems such as Workday, Greenhouse or Taleo were not tested, and each employer configures its own.
