Senior Digital UI Designer

The Position:

Fuseproject is looking for a Senor UI Digital Designer to join our Experience Design team. We are looking for a candidate who is creative, passionate, and unwilling to compromise their drive to create stunning and engaging designed experiences that make a difference to our clients, their brand, and their customers.  

We are looking for a true student and connoisseur of experience design, not bound by the constraints of traditional digital thinking nor the expected design patterns and trends that drive the industry. You must be passionate about your craft, always excited to embrace the next challenge, thrive in ambiguity and love the chaotic and rewarding nature of a design challenge. You should both engage clients you work with and inspire the team working with you.  You should be a hybrid in your thinking, your skillset, and your approach. And like all of us, have willingness and desire to learn every day and see the world through many lenses - always challenging your own assumptions, those around you and willingly step into the unknown.

Your role will take you across the spectrum of design – from early stage strategy, research, product definition, ideation and concepting – to deep systematic and detailed experienced design for real-world implementation. Our Digital & Experience Designers craft how the individual interacts with a product or service. Activities revolve around tight integration and collaboration across the studio’s disciplines, and rigorously engaging in product / service research, concepting, information architecture development (site maps, user flows, sketches, wireframes, experience frameworks), systematic design, and interaction design to create powerful digital, physical and/or environmental experiences.

Like all roles within fuseproject, you will be hands-on; executing designs and establishing a strong point of view and translating into tangible and tactile design artifacts.  While a hybrid role by design, you must embrace discovering, understanding, and communicating the business requirements of our clients, the emotional desires of their customers, and the context in which these two come together.  Having a strong passion for and understanding of user-centered design processes, systematic thinking, and interaction design principles is crucial for your success.

We expect you have curated your work into an impressive portfolio that shows ideas, stories and compelling digital products and platforms. We are looking for a Designer that will bring new creative energy to the table with thinking, process and designs that are refined, considered, current and forward thinking.
