As a Visual Product Designer at Playful Software, you will be pivotal in helping us craft and evolve a visual identity and style that communicates the powerful nature of our tool in an inviting way for no-code creators. You’ll work with other designers and product team members to help us achieve just that!

Job description:

• Work with UX and product to level up the look and feel of our tool by conceptualizing and creating visual design and UI patterns that can be used in-product, on landing pages, and in marketing to tell a cohesive story
• Create simple animations and illustrations to educate users about new and complex topics in a friendly and straightforward way
• Use our WYSIWYG design tool to create compelling demo sites, projects, and landing pages that showcase what can be accomplished with Playful.
• Validate design concepts with end-users
• Communicate and share user experience information throughout the design process (scenarios, user profiles, flows, storyboards, etc.).
• Provide wireframes and functional specifications to inform design and development.
• Keep up to date on industry trends and similar solutions on the market.
• Have a fun, playful visual style

This job might be for you if you have…

• Strong Visual Design Skills — you have an experienced grasp of visual hierarchy and typography, and you’re comfortable creating illustrations
• Dabbled in animation and motion and have an interest in doing more
• Experience building UX for consumer-oriented products, including user flows, wireframes, visual design, and prototypes that articulate product design
• Experience working directly with engineers, fast iteration
• A deep sense of curiosity and proven ability to propose creative concepts during initial project phases and the ability to deliver on those ideas through detailed design
• A passion for creating tools for non-technical users
• Deep understanding of design patterns
• Experience working in a highly iterative and collaborative environment where opinions are strong but loosely held
• A bias for action in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous, environment; an entrepreneurial, ownership attitude
• 5+ years of relevant design experience creating visuals for use in-product, UI design, and lightweight UX
• 2+ years of creative tool design experience
• Training in user experience, cognitive ergonomics, or human-machine interaction (or related training)
