UX Designer
About You
You're a person who gets excited when new challenges arrive, and worries when things start to become status quo. You like to invest in other people's ideas and help them design solutions that actually produce results. At the end of the day, you want to walk home feeling good because you're proud of the company, the team you are working with and your part in exciting projects.
About Us
We're the kind of group that likes to take care of each other. We thrive on working collaboratively, yet we understand the importance of personal growth. We like to have fun by going out for happy hour or doing something exhilarating like white water rafting. At the end of the day, we strive to make sound business decisions and balance those with the team's personal needs.
What You Need
- Nimble Mind
How do you go about solving problems? Do you weigh all the evidence first or make a decision based on intuition? To thrive in this role, you will need to be quick on your feet while also processing lots of information, so you can field questions from clients confidently and honestly. - Solid Communication
Can you confidently lead a discussion with complete strangers? Can you transform a situation with an unhappy client, or clarify if there is a miscommunication? To excel in this role you’ll need patience, a desire to listen before speaking, and an ability to understand multiple view points. You’ll need to communicate openly and candidly, while maintaining a level of tact and diplomacy. - Design Chops
Are you a Photoshop master? Do you have an eye for typography, color theory and composition? A UX designer not only solves problems and works with user research, but also has a keen eye for aesthetics. As a mix of left and right brain, you should be able to satiate client’s desire for eye candy while satisfying the business’s need for results. - Coding Experience
Do you get excited when trying to turn a visual design or experience into a reality with code? This role requires you to feel comfortable working with HTML and CSS, and, if you are really ambitious, jQuery too. You will need to know enough about the major browsers to be able to do your job efficiently, and have cursory knowledge on how servers and databases work so you can help with any technical solutions.
