Description
Jirafe is looking for a talented designer to help with the design workload while our lead designer is away on maternity leave. We’re seeking someone who possesses a keen eye and a passion for clean, usable design. You should have a strong understanding of modern web design techniques: the grid system, typography, color, brand expression, web accessibility, and responsive web design. If you have the ability to take content/specs and translate it into an easy-to-use and clearly communicated design, then you might be an excellent fit. Some experience with front end development (i.e. more Dribbble than Github) would be a huge plus.
Requirements:
- Have an online portfolio (required for consideration)
- Creating simple yet effective design solutions
- Creating designs that fit well within Jirafe’s existing site design and visual language
- Understanding the impact your design has on the code
- Understanding responsive design and development
- Can work comfortably alongside developers
- Attention to detail
- Expert knowledge of Photoshop & Illustrator
- HTML & CSS
- Javascript and jQuery
- SASS
- Custom illustration and drawing skills
This is a 2-month contract position with the possibility of going longer depending on business needs. We’d prefer to have you working with us in our NYC office during our normal business hours but would be open to a more flexible schedule for the right individual.
