Creative Resume Template for Designers

For creative roles the portfolio is the argument and the resume is the index to it. The Creative template leads with selected work and shows each project's link prominently, because the reviewer's next action is to click through. The expression is confined to type scale and a single accent rule - no columns, no icons, no image headers, because the same reviewer's ATS is as literal as anyone else's.

Who this template is for

Expressive without being unreadable

A large name, wide letterspaced headings and generous whitespace give it a designed feel. None of that affects extraction: it is one column of real text, so a parser reads it exactly like the Classic template.

Why not a two-column layout

The sidebar layouts sold as 'creative resumes' are the single most common cause of scrambled parsing - many ATS read across columns and interleave your skills into your job history. This template gets its personality from typography instead.

How to make it yours

Lead each project with the outcome, not the brief, and keep links short and readable. If a portfolio piece is under NDA, describe the problem and the result without naming the client rather than omitting it.
