Creative and design resume template (Canada, free PDF)
A portfolio-led resume that still parses: the portfolio URL sits in the contact line, selected work gets its own section, and the visual interest comes from boxed headings rather than columns or graphics. Your portfolio carries the craft — this page just has to survive the parser.
