As a Senior Interaction (UX) Designer, you’re more than just a wireframer. You are a professional, who can apply your skills to a variety of problems and see applications for user experience design in the physical as well as digital world.

At This Place, we look for designers who are strategic thinkers, who see an interface not just as a vehicle for getting users efficiently from point A to point B, but rather as a platform for storytelling and engaging users in meaningful ways. You’ll work closely with visual and communication designers, strategists, developers, and project managers to research and deliver compelling, user-centered design solutions.

If this sounds like a good fit for you, your talent, and experience, let’s talk!
