But why should you learn resume design from me?


I’ll briefly introduce myself: my name is Pierluigi and I’m a full-time designer with over 8 years of experience.


After graduating with a BA Graphic Design from one of the top Design Universities in London I worked and managed hundreds of design projects for companies of all sizes and tech backgrounds, from Fortune 500 companies to Million-Dollar Companies that needed to raise their next round of funding.


On the side, I have also designed over 20 design products and my designs have been downloaded over 50000+ times.


I also have a design channel on Youtube with over 300 videos and I’m active on Dribbble and Instagram with over 30000 followers.


I had a deep passion for design ever since I was in high school and since this industry gave me so much, I want to give back by sharing the knowledge I gathered as a designer over all these years.


So join me today in this course and let's learn how to design an amazing resume, so that you can bring your design career to the next level!
