<p>As an edX Designer, you:</p>
<ul>

<li>Understand established interactive technologies and possess an undying thirst to learn about new ones.</li>
<li>Define and work within visual themes based on your excellent understanding of grids, typography, color, and design principles.</li>
<li>Marry design aesthetics to user experiences while keeping in mind accessibility, usability, and web standards.</li>
<li>Can use HTML5, CSS3, and DOM-manipulating JavaScript to represent your designs in the browser.</li>
<li>Conceptualize and articulate complex ideas to drive decisions, facilitate understanding, and reach consensus.</li>
<li>Document your thinking using appropriately chosen, informed deliverables such as sketches, wireframes, prototypes, site maps/flows, personas, style tiles, and design comps.</li>
<li>Have a perfectionist mindset, but won’t lose momentum in projects because of it.</li>
<li>Expertly present user experience and design recommendations to team members.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Requirements:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Have at least 2 years of professional, post-collegiate experience.</li>
<li>Have a BA, BS, BFA, or equivalent work experience in areas such as human-computer interaction, information science, graphic or industrial design, computer science, fine arts, social sciences such as psychology, or another related field.

We enjoy holding Design Studio exercises, finding the right design tool to do the job efficiently, and our CSS preprocessors.</p>
