Mid-level UI/UX Designer

Description of the offer

We are a flexible team of creative people, having Branding, UI/UX Design and Development at the core of our interest and work. Fusing aesthetics with functionality, we aim to contribute to shaping a better world.

We are looking for a Mid-level UI/UX Designer, willing to thoughtfully bring comprehensive brand identities to the digital world and set identity-informed and functionality-focused style guides to the creation of innovative, user-centered websites, apps, and platforms.

We look past diplomas when it comes to a great portfolio. For the final selection of the person to take on the role, no studentship or diploma is required, so focus on your portfolio.

Our headquarters are located in Athens, Greece, and we are always up for interactive and hands-on collaboration, yet, if you are not a local, we are open to exploring remote working solutions and finding the optimal way of working together.
