You thrive on working well with others. You make the people around you better. You love to collaborate with designers, user researchers, engineers, product managers, executives, and inspire them to do their best.

 

You are a full stack user experience designer. You look at interaction design, visual design and aesthetics, typography, motion, 3D, ambient interaction, human factors, and more as tools in the UX designer’s toolkit. You may have strengths in some of these areas, and want to learn more in others, but you know how to talk about each and work with your colleagues to combine them all into an experience that delights.

 

You get stuff done.

 

You’re a fantastic storyteller. You know that our products tell our customers a story through the user experience. You will not rest until that story is a compelling one.

 

You love rules and you know when to break them. You think systemically because you know that creating a coherent experience requires it. However, you know when the system needs to expand to accommodate a user’s varied conceptual model. In addition, you know when to do something unique to create an arresting and product-defining moment in the product that makes users ooh and aah.

 

You do not already know everything and you love to learn. You’re inspired by helping users solve their problems. You love finding out you’re wrong. You consume large amounts of quantitative and qualitative data to constantly refine your assumptions.

 

And finally, you want to be part of creating dramatic and impactful change at a company that is committed to becoming a light unto others when it comes to user experience design.
