About this template
Graphite is a black-and-white resume with one structural idea: the page is a white card with rounded corners on a light grey canvas, and each section starts with a full-width grey pill carrying an italic heading. The result looks composed on screen and in print without using a single colour.
The body is single column. Experience lines put the role and company in bold with the dates aligned in a second column, and skills lay out in a three-column grid so twelve tools fit in four lines. Summary text is justified, which suits the card's clean edges.
Graphite is built for UX designers, engineers and analysts who want a resume that shows judgment without a portfolio moment. The pills take a faint tint from your accent colour if you set one, so a navy or green accent adds warmth without breaking the monochrome feel.
Who is this template for?
- UX and product designers
- Engineers and analysts who want a clean monochrome resume
- Candidates applying to design-aware tech companies
- Anyone who prefers structure over colour

Questions about this template
Does the card layout affect ATS parsing?+
No. The card and pills are backgrounds behind normal single-column text. Parsers read Graphite exactly as they read Classic.
Can Graphite show colour?+
The pills take a subtle tint from your accent colour. Names and text stay dark so the template keeps its black-and-white identity.
