Tips for your Product Designer resume

Senior design leaders should speak to org-building and business outcomes, not just craft. Show how your design decisions moved product metrics, drove revenue, or enabled strategic pivots. Team size growth, hiring record, and executive partnership are what gets you into VP and C-suite conversations.
