iPhone-Style CV Template: Simple Elegance With Product Logic

This template borrows the logic of consumer product design: wide spacing, clean typography, simple visual hierarchy, few elements understood instantly. It suits product managers, experience designers, and anyone who cares about quality of execution.

The steps

1. Open it and fill in name and job title in the wide top area
2. Write a two-line summary; the generous space makes any padding obvious
3. Order sections by the importance of what you want to highlight, not purely by chronology
4. Keep each bullet to one line — this design punishes length more than any other
5. Add your portfolio or product link in the contact block

Practical tips

• This template rests on emptiness, so do not fill it — the space is what gives it value
• Well suited to tech companies and digital products, where clarity is prized
• Use one typeface at two sizes; wide variation breaks the simplicity the design is built on

Common mistakes to avoid

• Adding elements to fill the gaps, which cancels the reason you chose this template
• Using several strong colours; here simplicity means one accent, not a palette

Frequently asked questions

Does it look too empty?

It looks ordered. In product design, whitespace is a sign of confidence, not of absence — it is what lets the reader find information fast.

Does it suit a non-technical profession?

Yes if you are applying to a tech company in any role; the style is understood and valued there. Traditional sectors prefer a more familiar template.
