Senior Visual Designer

Overview Visual Designers are responsible for the design and orchestration of visual elements in a systemic composition. The discipline combines design for interaction (UI / UX, design systems and digital products) and design for communication (brand, print, and visual storytelling). Visual designers balance spirit and rationality; brand and product; functional clarity and emotional impact.

You will lead client conversations within your domain, providing articulate recommendations and helping guide client choices.
