We're looking for a strong individual contributor to join our kickass design team as a Visual 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, color, 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.

You won't fit right in if:

• you default to wait for instructions rather than figuring things out yourself
• the only time you think about design is at work
• if you'd rather keep quiet than speak up in a meeting
• if you support fascism
