Design hiring managers in Indian startups decide within seconds whether a headline describes a product designer, a UX researcher or a brand designer, because these are separate roles with separate budgets. A strong headline names that discipline, the domain, and ideally one outcome from a case study they can then open in your portfolio.
UX Designer (4 yrs) specialising in fintech onboarding – reduced KYC drop-off by 18% through flow simplification
The tool list is replaced with a discipline, a clear product area and two methods that show process. Recruiters can now match the designer to a role instead of guessing what kind of work they do.

Written by the DigitalCVMaker team for designers applying in India. Every example is original — none is copied from a real person’s profile — and each is built around what employers and clients in this field look for: the role, a specialism, and proof you can back up. We revise the page when that changes; the date at the top shows the last update.
These are examples to adapt, not real people. Swap in your own numbers, specialisation, city and achievements — it only works when every word is true for you.
Only once you have at least one complete UX case study with research and testing. Until then, “Visual designer transitioning to product design” is more honest and still searchable. Hiring managers respect the transition and check the portfolio; an overstated title raises doubts during the portfolio review.
Put the link directly under your name rather than inside the headline, so the headline stays readable. Use a short, clean URL such as your own domain or a Behance profile, and make sure the first case study loads well on a phone.
