UI/UX skills sections are judged on whether research and UI craft are both present and backed by case studies. Indian product teams increasingly ask about accessibility, vernacular interfaces and working with analytics, while agencies prioritise speed in Figma, so list methods, tools and collaboration skills separately and link each to portfolio evidence.
Information architecture
The bare list mixes tools with vague traits. The bullet proves information architecture and usability testing through the method, sample sizes and an observed change in task success, all verifiable in a case study.
The hard skills employers screen for first.

Written by the DigitalCVMaker team for UI/UX 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.
Only list skills you can back up with an example in your experience section or at interview.
List it if you can build prototypes or review pull requests, for example HTML, CSS or basic React. Many Indian startups value designers who understand implementation constraints. Keep it under tools rather than core skills unless you are applying for design-engineer roles, so you are not mistaken for a developer.
Describe one change in microcopy and its effect, such as rewriting an error message in a payment flow that reduced repeated attempts. For vernacular products, mention the languages in which you have written or reviewed interface text. That makes the skill concrete instead of a loose claim.
