WHAT YOU’LL DO
WHAT YOU ARE
YOU’RE DRIVEN
You are committed to the mission of making essential, simple, innovative and harmonious designs that improve people’s lives in practical ways and are aware that bringing a product to life requires tremendous effort and creativity. You welcome the challenge. You are a self-starter and take initiative on any projects assigned. You are not afraid to admit mistakes and you fix what you can right away.
YOU’RE UP FOR CHALLENGE
If you’re given the tools and the time to take on a few creative tasks, you’re already ready to dive in. You’re up for any creative challenge, and can’t wait to learn new skills. You love design.
You are highly proficient in Adobe Suite, Sketch, Figma, etc. You are deep on the fundamentals like colour, composition, typography as well as on top of latest UX and interaction design trends, and thrive off of the unlimited creativity that your skills give you. You love being original, and hate copying or replicating.
YOU’RE A WHIZ AT BRAND BUILDING
You’re the kind of person to have a notebook full of sketches because you ooze inspiration. You have a pet peeve for poor font choices, and bad alignment makes you dizzy with frustration because… well, you don’t trust low resolution images. You are excited by the possibility to experiment with communication creatives, and probably already have ideas that our company needs to create.
YOU’RE AN EXCELLENT COMMUNICATOR
Every part of creating phenomenal designs requires excellent communication skills. Whether it is communicating with your team to ensure a project goes smoothly, or designing marketing collaterals to reach riders, this skill is of paramount importance. You know how to be convincing, direct, and professional. You always see criticism as constructive.
