Junior Graphic Ux/Designer

Who Are You?

When you walk down the street, all you see are type, colours, and pixels (in a good way—not a scary way). The drive to create head-turning visuals and seamless user experiences is what gets you out of bed in the morning and what keeps you up late into the night. Jumping between traditional and digital design worlds isn’t an issue, and your portfolio reflects that because you strive to stay relevant in the constantly changing design and technology landscape. Other coders admire your ability to think creatively and solve problems on the fly—the smart ones might even call you a UX hero. Meeting expectations is okay but exceeding them is just so much more enjoyable, especially when done with your famously positive and humble approach.

Basically, you…

·live creatively through Adobe Creative Suite (XD, Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator).

·are a pretty quick study.

·manage time and solve problems with remarkable ease.

·know your way around Keynote and Numbers.

·Can use (if you have to) Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

·keep up with design trends through social media, design blogs, influencers, etc.

·don’t shy away from criticism because it helps you grow.

·know at least one workplace-friendly joke
