Product Designer, Top Hat

• Minimum of 1-3 years of experience working as a product designer (or similar role: UX Designer, Visual Designer, etc.)
• You’ve experienced the full design process ~2-3 times (including school work!): you’ve understood people, defined problems, iterated on concepts, and shipped solutions
• You have a good intuition for visual design: you know how to use typography/colour/spacing to lay out an interface and understand how these decisions relate to a great user experience
• You’re excited about designing accessible products: you have exposure to the ideas of inclusive design and are excited to build interfaces that work for everyone. Familiarity with WCAG 2.1 AA is a plus
• You take initiative beyond your role: you’re excited to grow your craft beyond your day-to-day work and have examples where you’ve made this happen
