Senior Designer (Experience and Visual Design)

Design & Visual Craft

• Design end-to-end experiences: user flows, interaction models, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI across mobile, web, and experiential platforms.
• Develop visual design direction -- mood boards, visual systems, and brand-aligned aesthetics (typography, color, iconography, motion language) -- that elevate every project.
• Build and maintain design systems and component libraries that ensure consistency and scalability across experiences.

Creative and Strategic

• Contribute to creative concepting alongside strategy and creative direction, shaping ideas from the ground up -- not just executing on briefs handed down.
• Design compelling pitch decks, storyboards, and visual narratives that bring concepts to life for clients.
• Explore emerging platforms, technologies, and experiential formats to push what's possible in our work.
• Stay current on UI, UX, and interaction trends across creative technology, experiential design, and emerging platforms

Collaboration and Craft Leadership

• Partner with creative technologists and engineers to ensure designs are feasible, performant, and beautifully implemented across physical-digital touchpoints (installations, kiosks, NFC, BLE, connected devices).
• Participate in design reviews, providing thoughtful critique and guidance to elevate the team's overall creative qualityLead experience and UI design across client projects, from early concept through detailed execution

What you'll bring

• 6--10+ years in design roles spanning UI, visual design, and experience design -- ideally within a creative agency, digital product studio, or experiential environment.
• A portfolio that shows range -- interaction thinking and systems-level design alongside strong visual craft. Experience designing for complex or non-traditional interfaces beyond standard marketing websites.
• Familiarity with experiential design, interactive installations, or connected-device ecosystems strongly preferred.
• Advanced Figma proficiency for UI design, prototyping, and design system management.
• Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite for supporting production needs.
• Strong visual design sensibility -- a sharp eye for typography, layout, color, and composition, with deep care for the details.
• Clear communication -- Ability to concept and art-direct, not just design screens. You articulate design rationale with conviction to internal teams and client stakeholders. Comfort with ambiguity -- you thrive in fast-moving environments where the brief is evolving, and you're helping define the solution.
• AI-curious -- you're already weaving AI tools into your everyday design process, whether for ideation, visual exploration, prototyping, or production. You see them as a creative accelerant, and you're genuinely curious about where they're headed.
