Additional Relevant Experience In addition to the minimum qualifications, demonstrated experience and interest in the following would be a plus: * Interaction design and motion within web projects * Information architecture and content strategy collaboration * Graphic and brand identity design alongside web projects ## Description As a design lead at Madeo, you are a senior designer that is invited to play a leading role in shaping user experiences and visual design on high-caliber websites for remarkable mission-driven organizations. You will get to design interactive report microsites, editorial sites, large organizational websites, and get invited to improve brand design systems for the web. Candidates for this role would bring experience across multiple client projects in an agency or team setting, along with a practiced ability to make and defend sound design and UX decisions. This role entails close collaboration with UX strategists, content strategists, other designers, web developers, and client teams. We are looking for a talented and confident designer who is equally interested in learning from survey results and wireframing as they are in polishing high-fidelity interactive UI designs. We are looking for a designer with a focus on web design, but with deep appreciation for visual and brand design. We see websites as an expanded expression of brand and would welcome those interested in the intersection of web and brand design., * At any given point, you would typically be working on a larger client project, a smaller one, and a few ongoing engagements that invite smaller improvements each month. On some projects, you will have a peer designer working alongside you to advance collaboration. * You would collaborate with one or two strategists, a creative director, motion and graphic designers, web developers, and members of the client team. * Projects typically start with a research and discovery phase. For website redesigns, this would include understanding the existing site, user needs and behaviors, insights from stakeholder interviews, and independently researching peer sites to identify opportunities. You would participate in auditing the existing site and share recommendations across UX, UI, visual design, and content. * Based on discovery insights, we move into collaborative design direction and wireframing in partnership with the content and UX strategist. Your ability to actively evaluate UX options and make grounded recommendations is central to this phase. * As designs become more defined, you would work on establishing the overall creative and UX/UI direction in collaboration with the broader team and the creative director. * You would be responsible for producing a UI Kit and the overall design system for the website, defining interactions and transitions, and collaborating directly with front-end developers on execution. ## Related Videos - [UX is a fullstack job!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1020-ux-is-a-fullstack-job) - [Design Principles For The Web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/518-design-principles-for-the-web) - [Building Collaborative Open Source tools for Developers and Designers - Pablo Ruiz-Muzquiz from Penpot](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1345-building-collaborative-open-source-tools-for-developers-and-designers-pablo-ruiz-muzquiz-from-penpot) - [Insight into AI-Driven Design](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1016-insight-into-ai-driven-design) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Rendering in the Browser, The State of CSS and Accessibility and more](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1347-wearedevelopers-live-rendering-in-the-browser-the-state-of-css-and-accessibility-and-more) - [Designing AI-first products: When the interface is no longer the product](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2062-designing-ai-first-products-when-the-interface-is-no-longer-the-product) ## Related Articles - [How Developers Can Focus on Maintaining Satisfaction With Accessibility](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/109-how-developers-can-focus-on-maintaining-satisfaction-with-accessibility) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front) - [Top 5 Web Design Trends for 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/155-top-5-web-design-trends-for-2023) - [Role of Web Developer in SEO in 2022](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/97-role-of-web-developer-in-seo-in-2022) - [16 Best Free React UI Libraries in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/148-16-best-free-react-ui-libraries-in-2025) - [Top 23 Web Developer Portfolio Examples to Inspire Your Own](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/161-top-23-web-developer-portfolio-examples-to-inspire-your-own)
