About you
You’ve already done outstanding work across different screens, be they mobile, tablet or desktop. And you’ve got the portfolio to prove it.
Now you’re hungry to get your teeth into some delicious new challenges, using your deft way with design to unfurl even the knottiest of problems.
Your brain might tend towards wireframes, user flows and personas, or layout, colour and typography. Either way you’ll have a breadth of skills you can use to create the ideal user experience. Maybe you’ve even got something special up your sleeve, like you’re an amazing prototype builder, illustrator or motion graphic designer.
You can pitch your work to people from all sorts of backgrounds and you’re the person in the room who’s always fighting the user’s corner. You don’t just want to design the best thing; you want the right thing for the whole audience.
You’re comfortable applying your skills to whatever situation arises, and keen to broaden those skills by trying out whatever new software and devices come your way. You’ve got a great degree in design or the equivalent on-the-job experience.
