Showcase your design skills for sure. If you're saying you have UX design skills, your CV should provide a better user experience than just a black and white list of your skills in standard font. Clean, easy to read, some color, and a graphic where applicable will help to set you apart from the competition.

I would suggest not saying you do UX as you can't really design for UX, just anticipate. Whenever I see graduates of my university tack that onto a resume it screams buzzword/knows nothing of the industry. I would also say skip making it fancy, graphically. Firms run resumes thru programs now, seldom looking at them all. They care more about what you have to offer vs cute font and a heavy stock paper. Go leet, make it all in ascii and post to GitHub. Telling them they need to pull your resume to view it could help it stand out.
