We seek a motivated and organized individual who cares about exceptional interactive design. Our ideal candidate is a gifted visual designer who is passionate about best practices and creating digital experiences that are as intuitive to navigate as they are fresh.

As we are an intentionally small team, your personality is just as important as your skillset. The culture here responds best to humble, kind-hearted, talented people who are mindful of protecting a positive atmosphere and who like collaborating with clients and one another.

Our work encompasses brand development, web design and development, and brand and content strategy. Our clients span across diverse verticals — nonprofits, tech, arts, education, consumer products, and retail. The ideal candidate will have an interest in brand design, and is a crack visual designer with a focus on digital work—interested in UX/UI, but not focused on it.
