• Have a user-centered approach and constantly apply user insights into your design process by leveraging user interviews, surveys and A/B testing, as appropriate.
• Collaborate with your UX, web, and marketing designer colleagues in agile design sprints, design workshops, and design reviews.
• Collaborate with product managers, music teachers, developers, marketers, and CRM experts to create a world-class, coherent user experience across the end-to-end customer journey.

• You have a solid grasp of user-centered design and testing methodologies, and usability and accessibility concerns in the space of visual design.
• You enjoy working with product managers and developers.
• You are comfortable presenting your ideas to stakeholders. You will be able to explain the reasoning behind your thinking and absorb and respond to feedback constructively. You can kill your darlings.
• You are proactive and self-confident, adaptable and able to cope with changing and evolving priorities whilst being able to identify new opportunities. You are a team player and you can make decisions.
• You provide final, detailed visual specifications and assets for developers to implement. You may even have worked with Unity.
• You speak Sketch, Figma, Abstract, Zeplin, Invision, and the Adobe tools.
• You can demonstrate your earlier work with a strong portfolio.

WHAT WE OFFER
