Forge UX Portfolio Frame
Designed for UX researchers and product designers who need a structured CV with side visualizations and case-study emphasis.
About this template
Forge UX Portfolio Frame gives product design professionals a refined way to present research, strategy, and delivery in one compact document. The main column is reserved for roles, achievements, and selected case studies, while the sidebar carries skill bars, research methods, and language proficiency. This setup helps recruiters quickly understand how you work, what tools you use, and where your design strengths sit within the product lifecycle.
The layout is particularly effective for UX researchers, product designers, and service designers who need to communicate both process and outcomes. Instead of a generic skills list, the sidebar turns your capabilities into a visual snapshot, while the main body tells the story of user interviews, prototyping, testing, and iteration. The overall look feels modern and professional, with enough structure to support senior applications without appearing overly corporate.
Export the file to PDF for a polished portfolio companion that can be shared with hiring managers or included in application portals. The format works well for international teams because it keeps the hierarchy clear and the language concise. Use the modern CV structure to emphasize research impact, collaboration, and product thinking, then customize the sidebar to match each job description. It is a strong choice when you want a document that feels strategic rather than decorative.
