Visual Designer

Daylight Design Munich is looking for a visual designer who will get to work on projects that delight users (and colleagues) with high quality visuals and compelling stories that inspire, engage and excite them.

The role is a nice mix of design for interaction (UI/UX, design systems) and some design for communication (brand, print, and visual storytelling). Activities include:

• Crafting interfaces for consumer (for profit and non-profit clients) and business  applications
• Creating design systems - typography, color, icons, grid systems, etc.
• Tell engaging stories of people, projects and brands through compelling graphics, illustrations, infographics
• Collaborate and work seamlessly with a multidisciplinary team of interaction designers, design researchers, project managers to align on objectives and goals and iteratively develop the best solutions
• Work on a variety of projects - from broad, explorative prompts to occasionally pixel perfect for shipping
• Create concepts that really push the bar in terms of quality 
• Go out in the field to build empathy with real users and to document research learnings for analysis
• Collaborate with teams from our other offices in San Francisco and Seoul and perhaps even travel to these locations if/when project demands
• Presenting work back to clients collaborating directly with clients

You’ll get to work on projects like:

• Ebenbuild - Increasing survival rates of patients with acute respiratory distress by creating a digital lung “twin”
• UNDP - Helping advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals through Impact Investing

• 2+ years of agency/freelance/in-house experience or a talented recent graduate in graphic design/communication design/interaction design
• Ability to communicate with colleagues and clients to solve problems
• Willingness to push beyond the obvious solution to find the best one 
• Ideally experience in shipping products 
• Understanding of and ideally experience in design thinking (human-centered design) methodology
• Eagerness to learn from a breadth of design talents, experiences and backgrounds working on problems with real impact
• Familiarity with collaborative design and prototyping software (e.g. Figma, Framer, etc.)
