Senior Product Designer (founding team)
Who We Are
The Landing is a social design platform that empowers everyone to create together - think Canva meets Pinterest. We believe that the future of product discovery is social, experiential, and creator-led. Our mission is to empower our community to discover, remix, create and connect over fully customizable moodboards. Backed by Cowboy Ventures and a stellar group of investors, we raised $2.5M in seed funding to build an unstoppable team, product, and community. Our recent launch was featured in TechCrunch and Crunchbase, with previous features in Domino, People Home (and more). Early users have been obsessing over the product. Co-founders Miri and Ellie bring a breadth of design experience, customer-centricity and fanatical product obsession to their work.
Our Values
At The Landing, we exist to empower everyone to create together. For us, that means encouraging and enabling creative expression and collaboration. We are a mission-driven team that lives and breathes our core values:
- Empower excellence with empathy
- Diverse spaces are creative spaces
- Create space for joy
- Build for long term sustainability
- Do, share, listen, and learn
