We're looking for a strong individual contributor to join our kickass design team as a web designer (UI-first). As an award-winning design studio, we help brands — big and small — improve their online presence through design, strategy, and branding

• has 0.5-1 years of experience in digital design (preferably website and web-app design)
• has medium-level proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite (primarily Photoshop & Illustrator)
• has a good understanding of how UI combines front-end tools
• has sound knowledge of typography, colour, and Gestalt principles
• a good understanding of identity design, grid systems, communication design (Social Media, Ad creatives & Mainline), editorial layouts, among other things
• is a problem solver: Finding problems is good. Proposing solutions is even better
• is opinionated: why does your solution work?
• is proactive: we care deeply about what we do & when we see opportunities/problems, we act
• is good at giving and receiving feedback: We leave the ego at the door because the end result is what matters
• is excited for demanding work that is never rushed: Work-life balance is quite important to us. We have high standards, but we also take the time to get it right

What will you work on?

• Stylescapes / Moodboards
• UI Design Mockups
• Design Systems
• Brandscapes

Who will you work with?

At SimplePlan, ours is an intentionally flat setup. At any given point, you'll be a part of a couple of projects in different phases, which means your day will involve close collaboration with fellow web designers, front-end developers, creative leads, as well as account executives.

What will you get with us?

• A consulting environment - we communicate, collaborate, and facilitate
• A learning environment - we seek to get better every day
• a growth environment - we follow a kaizen-focused approach to growth
• a human environment - we believe in honesty + kindness, in every interaction

You'll fit right in if:

• You have a bias for action
• You love coming up with ideas and bringing them alive through design
• You enjoy solving problems — design and otherwise
• You have an innate sense of ownership when it comes to work
• You enjoy discourse on design, product, and tech
• You cheer up at the idea of making sense of complex systems
• You enjoy close collaboration with cross-functional teams and individuals from different backgrounds
• You are as happy to receive and include ideas as you are to share them.
• You understand our company culture and values, and feel you are aligned with them.
