About This Template
Creative professionals face a unique resume dilemma: their resume is itself a work sample demonstrating their design sensibility and aesthetic judgment. A plain, text-heavy resume may undersell your creative abilities, while an overly designed resume may fail ATS parsing and never reach a human reader.
This creative resume template strikes the right balance — visually distinctive enough to demonstrate your design awareness, with a structure that remains ATS-compatible for companies using automated screening. The design uses tasteful visual accents, clear hierarchy through typography weight and size, and strategic use of color — without resorting to graphics, text boxes, or layouts that ATS systems cannot parse.
The template includes an optional "Portfolio" or "Selected Works" callout section where you can list URLs to your online portfolio, relevant projects, or creative samples. This directs hiring managers to see your actual work while keeping the resume itself clean and functional.
Suitable for graphic designers, UX/UI designers, art directors, copywriters, content creators, social media managers, brand strategists, and marketing professionals who want their resume to reflect their creative sensibility.
