UI + UX DESIGNER

Description

Popt is looking for an exceptional contract UX-centric web designer to help make the Popt experience as intuitive and amazing as possible. You will be tasked with improving existing processes/designs and conceptualizing new ways for our "sellers" and "buyers" to get the most from Popt. There is approximately 40-50 hours of design work available immediately with a lot more to come.

As a platform centered on supporting artists and designs, we place a huge premium on design. We believe in the value we are bringing to independent artists, artisans and designs. We want our platform to be a great vehicle for art and design products -- a perfect canvas for displaying beautiful products.

About you

you understand UX deeply, just as much as you understand UI

you can work effectively on existing projects. This isn't greenfields/blue skies work.

you communicate with front-end developers so that they produce your vision -- design decisions should not be left to the imagination of developers. You speak their language and, ideally, code some of their language too.

you have succinct design processes that really work (for everyone)

you document and communicate animations

responsive design isn't just theory for you. You know it and know the development implications of design ideas.

constraints bring out the best in you

you can bring about big wins with small changes.
