UI Designer

Monks is looking for a Designer with a knack for experiential and virtual solutions work. We’re talking pixels and physical products instead of paper; creativity practiced in developing amazing experiences. Role & Responsibilities As a UI Design Monk, you’ll join an international team of designers in crafting fantastic work for one of the world’s leading tech brands. You’ll be designing award-winning websites, apps, and platforms; 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 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. Requirements We work across continents and time zones, so your high‑level English will allow you to understand and communicate complex problems and ingenious solutions. 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 clients—wherever they are.
