Motivation Behind This Project

Designing a resume is a tedious task specially for someone who doesn't have experience with design tools like Photoshop or Illustrator. Most people end up having to use one of the online resume builders which are great but sometimes they dont provide the flexiblity you are looking for.

In ResumeInDesign we want to change that, that's why we built resumeindesign.com ofcourse but also this tool to let frontenders design their own resume with the tools they love and use daily.

Vision

This is an open source project and will always be, we will keep adding more and more resume template designs as we go. This project will be maintained by ResumeInDesign team but we welcome any contribution.
