What You'll Do
A Mad Genius interactive designer works within the digital team to establish the identity of our clients on websites, social media, and the occasional application. No two jobs will be the same. Scopes vary from one-day projects to one-year projects. You will collaborate with developers, designers, animators, illustrators, video producers, and copywriters to provide users with a great digital experience. Client meetings to help develop insightful digital strategies will include you. You will be challenged to pursue “next” over “now.” There will also be peer pressure to have Star Wars toys in your workspace.
