About the job

Senior Designer, Visual Interaction Design

Position Overview:

IDEO is seeking a passionate Visual Interaction Designer to join our Cambridge Studio. This role is ideal for individuals who are dedicated to creating thoughtful and elegant user experiences while showcasing strong visual design skills in the interactions people have with intricate systems, software, and services.

As a Visual Interaction Designer at IDEO, you will play a key role in shaping the aesthetics, functionality, and behavior of user experiences. You will transform human-centered insights into engaging interactions and interfaces that are not only functional but also visually striking and meaningful. Your work will involve balancing visual excellence with usability, bringing a unique visual voice to each design challenge, and collaborating with a diverse team of multidisciplinary experts.

This position is a fantastic opportunity for designers who are self-directed, eager to tackle complex challenges, and committed to continually honing their craft.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Contribute to a varied portfolio of projects across numerous industries, encompassing data, experience, interaction, digital product, and service design.
  • Engage in all phases of a project, from research synthesis and concept development to prototyping, refinement, and production-ready execution.
  • Transform human-centered insights into interaction models, visual systems, and polished digital interfaces.
  • Create both “looks-like” and “works-like” prototypes to explore ideas, test assumptions, and communicate concepts effectively to teammates and stakeholders.
  • Collaborate closely with designers from various backgrounds, including design research, business design, industrial design, and communication design, to develop cohesive and holistic user experiences.
  • Design across diverse mediums and contexts such as mobile applications, websites, digital/physical systems, AR/VR, and voice interfaces, always guided by user needs and context.
  • Advocate for high-quality visual and interaction design, fostering a culture of strong craftsmanship, curiosity, and experimentation.

Qualifications:

  • A background in visual, interaction, or graphic design related to digital products or experiences is essential.
  • A robust portfolio that showcases visual excellence, thoughtful interaction design, and a clear perspective on typography, color, layout, and motion.
  • Comfortable working at various fidelity levels, from rough explorations to refined, production-ready designs.
  • Experience in producing both low and high fidelity prototypes.
  • Proficiency in contemporary design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Adobe Creative Suite).
