Senior UX/UI Designer - Chicago

You’re more than an advocate for the user – you have a vision for what truly great experiences can be. As a Senior UX/UI Designer, you’ll take what users want, need, and expect from the products we create, and push those expectations into the realm of artistry for responsive websites, software applications, and mobile products. You are innovative, quick-thinking, and know what’s happening in the digital space, where it’s going, and how to take your client’s project to the next level. Your UX/UI design skills are second to none, and you have a knack for making complex information clear for clients, project managers, design, engineering, and quality assurance analysts alike.
