Art Director for User Experience (UI/UX)
As YCP's full-time Art Director for User Experience, you will lead the conception and visual design for high-end websites, mobile apps, and the innovative software platforms we develop for our clients. Your work will shine when users are engaged by the design and content and can seamlessly navigate through important paths of the interface to drive results.
Please note, we are only accepting U.S. candidates with 3 years of experience who want a full-time, in-office role.
- Participate in interactive client brainstorming and discovery sessions to offer your ideas on creating the next generation of websites or software platforms.
- Collaborate with our in-house software development team to wireframe and design unique interfaces for web-based platforms and mobile apps.
- Create landing pages and custom website layouts for high-end sites.
