We are looking for a UI/UX Designer who will work with our team to implement design decisions for digital experiences that support users with disabilities and our clients. The designer will understand our users’ motivations and needs, leveraging design research, accessibility, and usability principles as well as your intuitive design sense in a holistic way. If you are looking to expand your UI/UX portfolio, we want to hear from you. Along with your resume, please submit a portfolio of previous work and/or provide links to showcase your best work on why you’d be perfect for this role.

  • Subject matter knowledge for conceptual and technical design, development, and implementation

By the end of this project, you would have supported the development of our front-end UI/UX, ensuring it is accessible and user-friendly, capturing each of these modifications into a document highlighting the changes.
