Who You Are

You have the soul of an artist and spirit of a designer with the ability to blend art, design, story, and technology to create unforgettable experiences. You have endless curiosity and love experimentation and play. Able to champion beautifully designed well thought out experiences, you pay attention to the nuance and detail which defines the mood and tone of an experience — fine-tuning an aesthetic to a point where the boundaries between art, design, and technology are imperceptible.

With your previous experience directing teams and individuals, you help others grow and hone their skills: finding the balance between artistic vision, time, and budget.

You’re proficient in principles of visual and interaction design packaged alongside your ability to sketch, prototype, and evolve the creative process allowing your team to go beyond perceived limitations. You keep a close eye on trends and experiment to create new aesthetics.

You also come with some other helpful skills and experience:

• You have an artistic vision and want to share it with the world
• 3+ years of experience creating cohesive visions for websites, and applications
• Provide examples of thoughtfully created concepts, storytelling, UI/UX design, and interactive experiences which pay attention to all aspects of an experience (e.g. visual, motion, sound/music, story/narrative, and interaction)
• An understanding of how visual comps translate into code & production
• Experience collaborating with strategists, directors, and technologists to help clients achieve desired outcomes
• Proficient communication/presentation skills
• Inspired to innovate and create
