For Claude Design — career-focused

DESIGN.md library for career artifacts

Copy-paste design systems built for resume sites, freelancer landings, founder decks, coaching pages, and career-transition portfolios. Drop one into Claude Design with a one-line build instruction and get a real UI back — not generic AI slop.

What is a DESIGN.md?

DESIGN.md is a markdown file that describes a design system — palette, type scale, component patterns, motion, voice, and what to avoid. Anthropic's Claude Design ingests it and scaffolds a coherent UI in one pass instead of guessing at every element.

1Pick a DESIGN.md

Choose the one closest to what you're building. Each is genuinely distinct — different palette, type, philosophy.

2Copy + paste into Claude Design

Paste the file with one line: "Build a portfolio site for [name], [role], following this DESIGN.md exactly."

3Iterate on copy, not chrome

Because the system is locked, your iterations are about content and structure — not arguing with the model about button radius.

Six career-focused systems. Each is copy-paste-ready and tested against real build prompts.

Bold / High-contrast

Bold Founder Pitch Deck

An investor-ready visual system — confident type, decisive color, single-idea-per-slide pacing. Built for screens, projection, and PDF export.

Best for

Pre-seed and seed founders building investor decks or a one-pager

View & copy
Clean / Narrative-first

Career-Transition Portfolio

A portfolio for someone changing careers. Leads with the story (why this pivot, what you bring), then evidence (transferable projects, learning artifacts, recommendations). Built so a hiring manager can scan in 90 seconds and trust in 3 minutes.

Best for

Career switchers — leading with story, not a thin work history

View & copy
Editorial

Editorial Resume Site

Typography-led personal site that signals taste and clarity — ideal for senior IC roles where the portfolio IS the resume.

Best for

Job seekers, personal brand, IC engineers/designers

View & copy
Magazine / Editorial-long-form

Magazine Case-Study Portfolio

A long-form, editorial portfolio that treats each project like a feature story — pull quotes, asymmetric layouts, intentional whitespace, real captions.

Best for

Designers, art directors, writers, and researchers presenting deep work

View & copy
Minimal SaaS

Minimal SaaS Freelancer Landing

Clean, conversion-tuned landing for a one-person service business — reads like Linear or Vercel, but warmer and more personal.

Best for

Solo freelancers selling a productized service

View & copy
Warm / Approachable

Warm Coaching Business

A soft, human, trust-building site for someone who sells their judgment and time — warm palette, generous whitespace, and copy designed to lower the friction of booking a call.

Best for

Career coaches, consultants, therapists, and 1:1 service providers

Why career-focused DESIGN.md?

Generic DESIGN.md libraries cover "ecommerce" and "dashboards." The artifacts most people actually need to build for their career — a resume site, a one-pager, a pitch deck, a coaching landing, a transition portfolio — sit in a different design space. They need warmth, honesty, and trust signals, not SaaS chrome. Each file here is tuned for that specific job.

Free to use. Attribution appreciated but not required. Built by AI Career Lab to help you ship the artifact, not argue with a model about typography.
