Alex Fontaine, Senior Product Designer
Alex Fontaine is a senior product designer with eight years across SaaS, fintech and e-commerce, most recently leading a team of four at Notion. The resume is written for a lead or principal design role where the hiring manager wants business results as well as portfolio work.
Why this resume works
- The summary quotes an engagement figure (up to 40%) in its second sentence, so the impact claim lands before the reader reaches the work history.
- Every Notion bullet pairs a design decision with a product metric: the editor redesign carries daily-active-user and retention numbers, and the design-system line states its scope.
- Skills are shown as tags rather than bars, which keeps a five-item tool list from reading as a self-assessment.
- An MA from the Royal College of Art sits last, where it supports the experience rather than leading it.
