仕事内容
You will work on a variety of projects that integrate digital designs into products, services and environments.
You will be part of a blended cross-functional team and tackle all aspects of the design process. Moving from insights to ideas, you will creatively solve complex problems, threading design and business thinking together to deliver inventive, durable and thoughtful solutions from concept to launch. In this role, you will need to apply conceptual thinking to create desirable and feasible digital solutions across multiple platforms, smartly bringing together user needs, business goals and technical realities.
You will utilize industry design standards and best practices to define and implement design criteria. You will apply user-centered design methodologies to ensure your ideas are based on customer needs and you will prepare research and testing, produce personas, map customer journeys and develop service blueprints for complex products and services.
Additionally, you will effectively communicate research findings, conceptual ideas, detailed designs and design rationale both verbally and visually. You will use a variety of methods to convey ideas and concepts (e.g., storyboards, wireframes, prototypes, etc.). You will use your narration and storytelling skills to bring product ideas to life and you will construct quick interactive prototypes with initial, low fidelity visual designs that illustrate your UX/UI design and present a realistic feel of the intended experience.
You will also participate in workshops, concept sprints and hackathons to inject design thinking tools and methodologies to produce tangible results in a rapid and iterative way. You will work closely with development teams to ensure that design specifications are implemented, and you will communicate the product vision to clients and customers.
