From re-engineering old IT to building fresh agile software, they specialize in partnering with science and technology based organizations to develop first-of-its-kind information solutions by strategically applying 21st century thinking.
Why they love what they do (and so could you)
- Seriously collaborative, even with people not on their teams
- Immerse yourself in one project at a time
- Daily product decision making and real product delivery with product managers and developers
- Freedom to try out new design processes; in the spirit of agile, do what works, try new things, stop doing things that don't work; not a lot of constraints on the 'creative' process
- You are always shipping!
- Design pairing
- Environment that encourages learning and growing as a professional and individual and infrastructure to support and motivate those goals
- Community oriented design team
- They really care about design and don't cut corners - and still they're shipping all the time!
- All the designers have different skillsets: you’re not expected to be an expert in everything but having access to someone who probably is means they all get smarter by teaching and learning

- Maintain a user-centered approach in design perspective and practice
- Work as a collaborative team member with clients, developers, and fellow designers
- Lead products from discovery and framework through iterative development and delivery
- Help product managers assess and prioritize opportunities and constraints
- Guide product decisions through user research, customer development, and iterative feedback loops
- Determine best practice approaches and lead the client through their process
- Rapidly iterate on design prototypes and working applications
- Conduct user testing, interviews, and analysis
- Develop visual identity systems, data visualizations, visual design, illustrations, etc.
- Produce materials for clients and developers, including user flows, wireframes, mockups, live style guides, and assets
How you can become a part of their team
- Be open-minded, creative, and self-critical; be collaborative and communicative
- Be thoughtful about the role of design in relation to contemporary technology; be committed to lifelong design learning
- Have experience with and curiosity of agile and lean philosophies
- Have experience working independently with clients
- Have experience designing full-service consumer and business applications
- Show command of modern front-end technologies and frameworks (HAML/SASS, grid systems, responsive design)
- Bonus: experience with Ruby on Rails, javascript/jQuery, node.js, backbone, git
- 1+ years experience with agile and/or lean philosophy and methods
- 2+ years experience in related field. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in design-related discipline (preferred, but not required)
