UX designer resume example

A UX designer works out how a digital product should behave so that people can do what they came for without getting stuck. On a project you interview users or watch them in usability tests, map their journeys, sketch flows and wireframes, then turn them into clickable prototypes in Figma.

You sit with product managers to decide what to build first and with developers to check what is feasible and how edge cases should behave. After release, you look at analytics, support tickets and session recordings to see where people drop off, and you iterate. In France UX designers work in startups, in-house product teams at banks, retailers and public services, or in digital agencies, where projects are shorter and clients change more often.

Tips

  • Your portfolio matters more than your CV: present two or three case studies showing the problem, your process and what changed.
  • Explain your role precisely in each project, especially when you worked in a team.
  • Show research, not only polished screens; recruiters look for how you reached the design.
  • If you know RGAA or WCAG, say so: accessibility is a legal obligation for many French organisations.
  • Keep the CV visually clean but readable by applicant tracking systems, without text inside images.

Mistakes to avoid

  • A portfolio of Dribbble-style shots with no context or user problem.
  • Using 'UX/UI' to cover visual design only.
  • Listing every design tool on the market.
  • Claiming impact metrics you did not measure yourself.

Working as a UX designer in France

In France the title is often kept in English: 'UX designer', 'Product designer' or 'UX/UI designer', and in the public sector you may also see 'Designer de services'. The profession is not regulated. Employers recruit from design schools (Strate, L'École de design Nantes, Gobelins), university masters in ergonomics or human-computer interaction, and increasingly from bootcamps. One French specificity is the RGAA, the national accessibility framework that public bodies and large companies must follow, so knowing it is a concrete advantage. English is common in tech teams, but user research with French customers requires good spoken French.

Frequently asked questions

Is a bootcamp enough to get a UX job in France?

It can open doors, mainly in agencies and startups, if your portfolio shows real research with users. Larger companies often prefer a master's in design or human-computer interaction, or previous experience in a related field.

Should my portfolio be in French or English?

English is widely accepted in French tech companies, but public sector and traditional companies may prefer French. Writing case studies in both languages, or at least a French summary, broadens the jobs you can apply to.

Do I need to know how to code?

Not to be hired as a UX designer, but understanding HTML, CSS and how components are built makes collaboration with developers easier and helps you design things that can actually be shipped.
