Product Designer

ABOUT YOU:

You're a bit of a generalist and an excellent problem solver. You’re a self starter and a quick learner. You may or may not be new to the game but you’re skilled at managing your own time and tasks. You’re more invested in process and practice than you are in perfection. You’re detail oriented but capable of zooming out to understand how the details fit into the system. You’re a design sleuth looking for answers to the “why” questions. You’re comfortable learning from mistakes and moving on. You’re a good communicator who frequently brings ideas to the table.  Your focus is squarely on the success of the humans using the products that you’re designing and not the success of your own ideas. You’re collaborative by nature and are looking to be a part of a team. You have a portfolio of work demonstrating your user-centered designs, your process (flows, prototypes, wireframes), and visual designs (mockups, mood boards, style guides) across desktop and mobile devices.
