Mid-Senior Digital Designer – Mess, Chicago, IL
Mess is a design, development, and content studio in West Town that makes websites, apps, brands, podcasts, videos, and other cool stuff.
------------------------------------
What we're looking for:
A Mid-Senior level digital native designer (not looking for anyone that considers themselves a "print designer"). Someone who understands how the internet works, how responsive grids behave on various devices and can design for any screen or surface. A master of Adobe Creative Suite, Sketch, and always up for the challenge of learning something new. Someone with experience in a variety of design disciplines including branding, UX/UI design and motion graphics/video editing.
A self-motivated problem solver who looks at every task, regardless of size, as a way to hone your craft. Someone that can follow direction and work with a team, is not afraid to speak up if you disagree, and has the confidence to present work to clients from a business perspective and not in "designer-speak".
Our team is made of multi-disciplinary creatives. We love surrounding ourselves with makers that have a broader perspective and diverse skillset such as:
Writing
Retouching
Illustration
IA/UX
Video/Audio Editing
Familiarity with how HTML/CSS works (don't worry, we have a team of nerds that handle all of the complex stuff!)
Other creative hobbies such as being in a band, making beef jerky or competitive dog petting

We actually have work/life balance and offer pretty good benefits – health, dental, 401k, a vast assortment of snacks, office dogs, etc. We're sort of like a startup without all the pretentiousness, buzzwords and pivoting.
Mess is an equal opportunity employer.
