The role involves leading design projects from concept to delivery, collaborating with teams on UI, UX, and motion-driven content design, while maintaining high-quality deliverables and effective communication.
Who we are:
We are a team of Proactive, Respectful, Communicative, Candid, Diverse, Equitable and Curious leaders seeking new team members who share our values. We are world-class experience designers, technologists, strategic thinkers and creators assembled to develop global design projects for adventurous, industry-changing Fortune 500 companies and leading organizations.
Who you are:
Your portfolio shows an understanding of timeless design and current trends. It shows a track record of rigor in design, love and attention to detail and iteration – form, shape, graphic hierarchy, structure, balance and framing across media – e.g. web, print, generative visualization, UX/UI, and bonus points: in large scale physical spaces.
You can articulate a process for shaping a branding or graphics system as easily as a digital interface. You can quickly generate both 2D and 3D sketches that bring concepts to life to test collaboratively with designers, strategists and technologists. You produce design work that leaders find polished, arresting, visceral, innovative – and goes beyond typical design solutions without clutter. You have proven your ability to complete design deliverables on time and on specification through careful self organization and clear communication with project managers and other designers.
Role Overview:
You balance workloads in various stages of a project – concept, design development, production and QA/deployment. Sometimes your focus is on high level conceptual design; at later project stages you’re in highly detailed production design. In addition, you can articulate specific visions and opinions that help internal teams progress on a daily basis. You will build significant experience in user interface, information and motion driven content design.
