Customizing every resume and cover letter was burning me out.
I wanted to focus on applying for jobs I actually wanted—not tweaking bullet points for hours.
Earlier this year, while job hunting for product design roles, I built a system that completely changed how I applied:
➡️ I trained a custom GPT on my own resume, experience, and past cover letters
➡️ It rewrote my resume and cover letter in minutes, tailored to each job
➡️ Suddenly, applying wasn’t a time suck—it felt doable again
Meet Resume Artisan: Your Personal Resume Assistant (Powered by ChatGPT)
After seeing how well it worked, I started recommending the process to my mentorship clients.
But I wanted to make it even easier—for any designer to use.
So I created Resume Artisan:
A public custom GPT that helps designers:
✅ Tailor resumes and cover letters to real job listings
✅ Optimize for keywords (without sounding like a robot)
✅ Highlight relevant skills—fast, without copy/paste chaos
If you’re applying to UX, product, or service design roles right now—or advising someone who is—give it a try.
