UX/UI Designer w/ a Sense of Humor

Description

At Shinesty, our mission is to force the world to take itself less seriously. We make people laugh first and sell second. Our mothers don’t always approve of what we do, but the millions of people we’ve entertained over the years do.

We’re looking for our first in-house UX Designer who can climb aboard the Shinesty train and help us use design to improve site performance, user experience, and brand.

If you create beautiful, effective design with impeccable attention to detail and understand that clean and clear does not have to be boring, you’ll fit right in. If you like looking at websites for their design aesthetic or creative functionality, we will welcome that new normal to our team. If you like to doodle dudes with mullets riding dinosaurs, please drive to our office immediately.
