About the Position
FFW is looking for a Designer to join the Experience Design (XD) Team to support creative outputs across a range of digital projects. You are a talented designer, with a passion for making delightful, ground-breaking work, and committed to producing exceptional experiences. You’re ready for hands-on projects at every stage of the lifecycle, from brainstorming creative concepts with the project team and developing original campaigns to participating in client presentations and ensuring deadlines are met all the way to launch.

FFW is a seriously collaborative work environment, so Designers need to collaborate across disciplines daily, from developers to analytics to client services, while maintaining high standards for original concepts and detailed execution. This is an opportunity to define and reinvent the digital space, and a passion for doing just that is critical.

The FFW XD Team comprises talented individuals from diverse backgrounds, education, and cultures, all of whom believe that we're better together. Our team culture is rooted in collaboration and in our drive to work through problems to understand our user's context, emotions, goals, and motivations. We support each project as an advocate for the customer, establishing informed perspectives, and leading XD activities that help us design and iterate on digital product experiences that benefit our clients' businesses.

As a Designer at FFW, you must demonstrate strong conceptual thinking and the technical expertise and attention to detail that bring those creative ideas to life. Whether it is color, typography, or usability, you will constantly strive for the perfect balance to enhance the expression. Brand guidelines are your friend—from developing them to ensuring they’re consistently followed in each and every project you touch. Your design execution and aesthetic choices elevate the experiences you are designing. You thrive working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, frequently moving from project to project. You are inspired by new innovations and follow the latest design trends. Above all, you are a talented, fun, curious person.

You Will…

• Produce meticulous, beautiful experiences that consider business and user objectives, brand guidelines, and channel specifications or requirements (websites, mobile applications, email, etc.)

• Prototype complex interactions with high standards of usability in mind

• Serve as a resident expert of digital tools and be skilled in developing digital design concepts.

• Be well-versed with web technology, usability, and core development tools, understanding web design constraints and how to design for a CMS

• Foster the great creative culture and talent we have across FFW, including outside of the XD team

• Learn to design not only for the handoff but for the presentation

You Have...

• 2+ years of relevant applied digital design

• Experience in an agency setting

• English fluency

• Experience working collaboratively with UX, Designers, and Developers to build great user and brand experiences and products that consider innovation, business impact, and user needs

• Highly conceptual thinking skills in both visual and interaction design and a solid understanding of designing intuitive site functionality, interaction, user interfaces, and navigation
