The usability testing bullet is gold — 15+ participants is specific and shows process maturity. I'd push further: what did you learn and how did you act on it? That's the UX story that gets callbacks.

Solid internship experience at Google. For a product design role I'd add a Projects section with a case study link — the resume alone can't show your visual thinking.

Skills list is solid but Adobe XD is becoming less relevant — maybe swap it for Framer or Principle. Portfolio link in the header would make this near-perfect.
