Join the team at a highly-regarded user-interaction & graphic design firm growing to “the next level” - our clients include ground-breaking startup companies as well as the Fortune 500. We develop some of the newest “Web 2.0” & client-software applications you read about as well as help refine and reinvent product brands you might already be familiar with and use. We work with some of the newest and notable technology and brand companies in the nation.
As an interaction & visual designer, you’ll work directly with clients and collaborate with a talented team. You’ll be coming in at just that point when you’re still part of the intimate group that’s involved in day-to-day strategic decisions and the growth of a young business.
We pride ourselves in high quality work and the passion to innovate and lead with new ideas. Your background should include working with small and large clients, so that you have some perspective on what it takes to develop solutions for different types of projects and please a variety of clients. You should come from a highly creative environment, but want more control over your work and exposure to clients. You should be exceptional at hands-on UI design (and collaborating with a team) in both software and Web development. You should have a strong background in typography and graphic design and be excited to develop unique and engaging visual designs as well as define how those designs should work.
The team promotes a wide range of talents and extreme versatility. We have a strong background in producing the work we do as well, not only designing it. You’ll work with our Engineers to produce the products you design and see them launch.
