Inspiration

Resumes are boring. I wanted to build something that tells your story — not just list jobs. Everyone has a journey, and I wanted to create a tool that visualizes that journey in an engaging, animated format that stands out from traditional CVs.

As both an author and a developer of software and games, I know how powerful storytelling can be — and how much resumes often fail to capture the creative spark that drives us. That’s where StoryResume was born.

What it does

StoryResume lets users create animated, story-driven resumes as personal websites.

Build timelines with chapters like "The Beginning," "Leveling Up," and "The Mission Ahead"

Add images, videos, and portfolio links

Share a public, mobile-friendly link

Collects emails for updates and lets users save progress via login

100% usable in the free version
