- As a Sr. UI Designer, you’ll join an international team of designers in crafting amazing work for the world’s leading agencies and their brands.
- You’ll be designing award-winning websites, apps, platforms, and even installations; translating creative concepts into functional designs and brand values into compelling visual styles.
- Your job is to make sure aesthetics are harmonized with usability, working side by side with our in-house creatives and UX designers.
- You produce quick sketches, mockups and prototypes to support concept proposals.
- You’ll also be involved in pitching projects and developing workshops.
- You don’t follow trends; you set them and enjoy doing so.
- You have an unquenchable curiosity for all-things digital, from apps and platforms to emerging tech.
Join Our Monastery
Being a Senior UI Designer at MediaMonks is simply amazing. You’ll get to work for top-notch brands and businesses and be part of a global network of kick-ass designers to work with and learn from. At MediaMonks, you’ll join a young and fun, successful and super-fast-moving production company that people would kill to work for.

Requirements
- You make sure all designs are in line with the project’s objectives and client expectations.
- As showcased in your interactive portfolio, you have a comprehensive experience with everything from responsive web design for large-scale platforms to mobile apps.
- You can contribute at all stages of the design process, from conceptualizing styles and wireframing websites (IA) to doing layout compositions (UI) and mobile translations.
- You have a well-developed understanding of grid systems, colour theory and typography, and can tie each of these elements together with obsessive attention to detail.
- You know how to hover behind junior and mid-level designers in a sacred ritual called constructive feedback.
- You have solid client-facing experience and break ice instead of sweat when you present designs or lead workshops.
- We work across continents and time-zones, so your high-level English (and Chinese) will allow you to understand and communicate complex problems and ingenious solutions fluently.
- You also understand the (business) objectives of global brands, technology and entertainment like no other; it’s up to you to make sure both the commercial and the creative goals of a project live and align in perfect harmony.
- Your Photoshop/Sketch skills are so slick, they look photoshopped; and you also know how to organize your files, layers and folders neatly, even if you’re a creative mess outside of Adobe CS.
- While you know all about the good, the bad and the ugly of UI design, you understand that design is about moving people’s emotions instead of pixels.
- You have experience shaping all stages of the design process, from conceptualizing styles to finalizing layouts and rolling out designs across markets and formats.
- In addition to visual prowess, you have strong social and professional skills and feel confident in tackling high-end projects in tag team with colleagues and clientswherever they are.
