Senior Designer, Visual Interaction Design

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Visual Interaction Designer to join our Cambridge Studio. The role involves shaping elegant, thoughtful user experiences and bringing strong visual design craft to complex design systems, software, services, and interactions.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to a diverse portfolio of projects spanning data, experience, interaction, digital product, and service design across various industries.
• Work across all phases of a project, from research synthesis and concepting through prototyping, refinement, and production-ready execution.
• Translate human-centered insights into interaction models, visual systems, and polished digital interfaces.
• Create “looks-like / works-like” prototypes to explore ideas, test assumptions, and communicate concepts to teammates and client stakeholders.
• Collaborate closely with designers from different backgrounds—such as design research, business design, industrial design, and communication design—to develop cohesive, holistic experiences.
• Design across a wide variety of mediums and contexts, such as mobile apps, AI experiences, websites, digital/physical systems, room-scale displays, AR/VR, or voice interfaces, always guided by user needs and context.
• Advocate for high-quality visual and interaction design, contributing to a culture of strong craft, curiosity, and experimentation.

Requirements

• A relevant experience and/or educational background in visual, interaction, or graphic design across digital products or experiences.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating visual excellence, thoughtful interaction design, and a clear point of view on typography, color, layout, and motion.
• Experience in delivering low and high fidelity prototypes.
• Proficiency with contemporary design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Framer, Principle), with curiosity about emerging tools and technologies.
• Familiarity with motion, code, or physical computing (e.g., HTML/CSS, After Effects, Processing/P5, Arduino) is a plus, but not required.

Qualifications

• Systems-oriented thinker who can engage with complex, interconnected challenges and design for clarity within them.
• Highly self-guided: able to take initiative, manage your own work, and move ideas forward with limited direction.
• Curious and experimental, with a willingness to try things, learn from failure, and iterate quickly.
• Strong collaborator who contributes thoughtfully to team discussions and is open to feedback and critique.
• A clear communicator with the ability to articulate design decisions visually and verbally, and an understanding of how design creates value in a broader business and organizational context.
