Senior Product Designer Freelance - 6 month contract

Job Description

At AKQA Gothenburg, Senior Product Designer is core to our offering and a priority for our clients. We spend most of our time designing disruptive and delightful digital experiences and ecosystems that change the game for our clients and give them an unfair advantage over their competition. Our world class team consists of people with different skill sets: from coding to visual design to strategy. To complete our offering, we are looking for a Senior Product Designer.

You are passionate about micro-interactions and interface design. You understand the transformative impact that well-crafted visual UI has on the customer experience, but you are also looking ahead to the next generation of user interfaces. You understand best practices, but only to the extent that they are the springboard for new ideas that are exciting and surprising, but not confusing. You are never satisfied with your first attempt, but keep exploring, testing and refining. You are a team player: you can give and take constructive feedback that will make the work better.
