UX/UI Designer

In an average week you will spend more time with your colleagues than you will with your family & friends, so it is important that a work environment is a good one. We understand the importance of a healthy work environment and follow some simple principles to ensure that our team environment is an enjoyable, safe space where everyone is empowered to use their intelligence, experience, and decision-making abilities to effect positive change.

• Community – It takes a team effort to reach our goals, we are all in it together. We are committed to incentives which reward the whole team when the team succeeds and continually investing in growing the skills of our team.
•  Safe – We want to hear the ideas of team members, consider them without prejudice and take the time to discuss the merits of each idea. Innovation is a trial-and-error process; we accept the risks that some ideas will fail. The success of new ideas is owned by the team, but the failures are not.
• Dependable – Our teams are self-managing scrums; everyone team member must be able to depend on their teammates and their teammates depend on them.
• Structured – We have a clear organizational structure, roadmap, individual responsibilities, and decision-making spheres. We work together to meet our shared goals but respect each others expertise in the decisions they make.
•  Impactful – We have a clear goal in our projects and the impacts of our work can be easily measured.

Our commitment to our team is to maintain a working environment that allows our team members to use all their skills and expertise in a collaborative way with other team members, to maintain a team which is greater than the sum of its parts and have fun along the way.
