Role: UI Designer

We’re looking for an experienced and talented UI designer to design and shape unique, user-centric design systems and experiences. The ideal candidate will have experience working in agile teams, with strategists, developers and copywriters. You will be able to make deliberate design decisions and to translate any given user-experience journey into a smooth and intuitive interaction. Working closely with the other members of the studio, you will be expected to approach each assignment with a positive attitude and solution oriented mindset in order to create your best work.

You will be part of a team of 3-5 other designers within a company that staffs (in our Sacramento office, currently remote due to COVID-19) all the roles that allow Bukwild to function as a full service, interactive agency: designers, strategists, copywriters, producers, and many other roles. We strive to keep meetings to a minimum while having enough structure to foster collaboration and keep projects on the rails. We believe strongly in pride in what you do, seeking excellence, while not sacrificing what matters most — you, your family, or your personal adventures.

You are expected to be someone who works well with others, can talk directly to clients, and can self-manage on projects where you may be the only designer. You will work on creative projects where you are expected to speak up when you see room for improvement, implement strategic moods/concepts , and, above all, execute from concept to final execution.

You should have a strong understanding of culture in design and proactively participate in the global creative community. We want you to propose new ideas and concepts you think we should adopt and help us keep up with the best standards of our industry. You should enjoy teaching others and sharing knowledge with the rest of the team. We challenge you to suggest and implement organizational changes that will benefit the team.

• Strong understanding of culture and trends in design and UI best practices

Requirements:
