ATS keywords for a ux designer resume
The key ATS keywords for a UX designer resume are research methods (user research, usability testing, journey mapping, personas), design skills (wireframing, prototyping, interaction design, information architecture), tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD), and systems work (design systems, accessibility, WCAG). Name the tool and the research method in the bullet that describes the project they shipped.
UX hiring weights both the craft and the process, so list research and design terms together — a portfolio gets you the interview, but the resume keywords get you past the filter. Figma is close to mandatory as a literal term now; include the research methods you genuinely run, because "usability testing" with no study behind it falls apart in the portfolio review.
