why i make resumes
some people that knew me in high school can tell you i used to design resumes for my friends for fun on apple's pages app– before i knew anything about design or typography.
in early 2020, i decided to make a linkedin post advertising paid resume design services. that post, along with word of mouth, led to me designing resumes for over 50 clients over the past year.
i made resumes to have fun, practice working with type, and help out my friends during their job search. i spent hours designing each resume based on that person's individual personality, vibe, and career goals.
now, a year later, i still get a ton of resume-related messages and requests. i'm still just as passionate about personal branding, so i happily work on them.
