How Noor’s resume is built
Layout and order
Noor Haddad is a fictional service designer in London, written for the UK on A4 with no photo or date of birth. Specimen sets the name in a display face and keeps the rest in a single readable column, so the CV has some character without columns or icons. The portfolio link sits in the header where a design lead will click it first. Two jobs and a master's degree fit on one page.
How the bullets are built
Design bullets are most convincing when they include how the work was tested. "Redesigned a council benefits form with 14 rounds of usability testing; completion rose from 61% to 86%" shows method and outcome. The design system bullet gives its reach: 9 services. The research bullet says who took part, 48 residents including screen reader and low-literacy users, which tells a reader about inclusive practice without a separate claim. The earlier job keeps one result from a 3-month pilot, missed appointments down 18%.

UX designer resume questions
Should a UX designer's CV be designed?
Lightly. The CV is read by people and by screening software, so keep one column and let type and spacing carry the style. Save visual work for the portfolio.
How do I describe research without breaching confidentiality?
Give the number and type of participants and the method, as the sample does. Leave out names and anything that identifies an individual.
Should I list Figma as a skill?
Yes, in a short tools line. It is expected, so it will not set you apart; the bullets about research and outcomes do that.
