  • Communicate design solutions to engineers and stakeholders
  • Design and prototype elegant solutions for web and mobile apps
  • Understand user needs
  • Work within brand guidelines to create layouts that reinforce a brand’s style or voice through its visual touchpoints

 You'll work with a team that is friendly, fast-moving, and highly capable with a sense of humor. There's no micromanagement here—we trust that you will see tasks through to completion and communicate with your fellow team members when needed or ask for help when needed.
At Defiant, ‘trust’ is the attribute we value most highly among our team members.
