About the Visual Designer Position
You are a champion of aesthetics. You have personal heroes that make your non-designer friends say "...Who?". You involuntarily facepalm when you encounter Papyrus or Comic Sans out in the wild. Professionally, you aspire to grow into making some of the best design work in the biz. To think, create and ultimately make every interaction between a brand and its customers beautiful, frictionless and meaningful. To experiment. To fight. To iterate. To fail. But most importantly - to get back up. And succeed wildly.
At Verndale, you'll be part of our Experience Design practice. You'll be responsible for creating pixel-perfect executions for mid-market Fortune 500 brands under the guidance of our Art and Creative Directors.

- Contribute thoughtful ideas to every stage of a project.
- Always take feedback productively, not personally.

- 2-3 years experience
- Knowledge of foundational responsive web design principles
