UX Designer resume example

• Combined UX research with prototyping of a financial task, comparing labels and recovery paths in Sketch; changed the flow when participants mistook a saved draft for a submitted request.
• Tested typography and layout in an HTML and CSS prototype with long names, zoom, and narrow screens; adjusted reading order and inline errors so the task remained understandable without the desktop layout.
• Observed users completing a multi-step task, separated navigation failures from comprehension issues, and retested the revised flow with the same task wording.
• Owned a user-research prototype using wireframes and usability tasks, resolved navigation ambiguity and increased unassisted completion from 6 to 9 of 10 participants.
• Published an HTML interaction specification using keyboard and screen-reader checks, enabling engineers to reproduce focus order and validation states before implementation.

• Paired with analytics to monitor 5 journey outcomes after launch. Gave support and product owners a clearer follow-up path.
• Annotated the delivered design with spacing, type and interaction decisions, reviewed the first implementation with engineering, and corrected differences that affected comprehension or accessibility.
• Tested a revised layout with realistic long text, empty content and error states, annotated the places where the hierarchy broke down, and adjusted labels and spacing while preserving the established design system.

• Specified keyboard, focus, validation, and recovery states for 19 complex components
• Created a self-directed design brief with a defined audience, content hierarchy and accessibility constraints; compared distinct visual directions using the same content rather than changing the message with each mockup.
• Checked the chosen design at its intended display or print size, annotated readability and contrast problems, and delivered editable source files with typography, color and export specifications.
• Owned the independent design review using actual-size proofs, resolved contrast and reading-order defects and completed an annotated before-and-after specification.

• Published a personal design case study using the prototype test record, explaining how audience needs changed the hierarchy and documenting the accessibility limits of the final design.
