We’re Hiring!
Position
UX/IA & Web Designer
Our studio is looking for a hybrid role, someone that is responsible for both the architecture of a site as well as the design as a way to maintain scope and continuity within our web builds. This hybrid role extends beyond conventional UX responsibilities, the ideal candidate will be well-versed in both the front-end and back-end capabilities, having gained this knowledge through close collaboration with UX, Development, and E-commerce teams. A deep understanding of industry UX standards and continuous adaptation to these is essential.
The role also involves comprehensive web design duties. Applicants must have expert-level skills in Sketch, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop, and exhibit fluency in the visual language of modern web and app design, with a mobile-first mindset. A strong background in typography is crucial. This position requires a team player who can excel within a small team structure, contributing to innovative design solutions that enhance user engagement and experience. No coding skills are required, but a comprehensive understanding of digital design principles is essential.
As a boutique agency we tend to operate at high-volume and, at times, fast-paced so you should be comfortable working in this type of environment. With that being said, we truly believe in a work-life balance. Years ago we switched to the 4 day work week and never looked back. You’ll be working hard alongside some wonderful people and our hope is that you’ll even have time for that life you have outside of work.
