- Apply UX methodologies like journey mapping, user flows, and usability testing to define products beyond UI.
- Ensure seamless and strategic user experiences.
- Lead visual direction on select projects.
- Produce compelling layouts and assets that translate beautifully across platforms — from product to marketing.
- Design high-impact presentation decks and visuals that bring ideas to life for clients and stakeholders.
- Work closely with engineering and product teams by providing annotated designs, QA support, and input during handoff and development.
- Contribute to project-related needs like case studies, marketing assets, and content design for social media or internal documentation.
What We're Looking For
- 4–6 years of experience in product and visual design, with a strong focus on digital experiences across web and/or mobile.
- Solid understanding of UX principles, including user research, usability testing, and translating insights into design decisions.
- Demonstrated ability to own features or tracks of work with minimal oversight — from wireframes to high-fidelity execution.
- Comfortable leading or contributing to discovery phases and helping define product direction in collaboration with strategy and engineering.
- Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, with experience working in a Mac environment.
- Familiarity with remote collaboration tools such as Google Suite, Slack, Zoom, Jira, and Harvest.
