INTERACTION DESIGNER
HUGE, a design and marketing agency in NYC, has openings for Interaction Desginers obsessed with building great websites and software.
Interaction designers at HUGE handle several key stages of product development. You'll start with developing the correct conceptual model -- understanding exactly who the users are and describing and ranking their goals and behaviors -- and end with the development of polished design blueprints and specifications.
Specific responsibilities include:
Determine a product's mandate, feature set, and business requirements
· Participate in user testing or fieldwork
· Develop user personas, scenarios of use, interaction models
· Create wireframes and functional prototypes
· Document feature behavior in loving, painstaking detail
· Collaborate with HUGE teammates, HUGE clients, and third parties to ensure that your solutions survive the development process.
Requirements:
· Proven, hands-on ability to apply the methodologies of interaction design to software development, and to generate designs that deliver power and pleasure to customers
· 2+ years experience designing and documenting windows applications or large-scale web-based applications, involving detailed design schematics and business rules.
· Tendency to lose sleep over how to remove the need for "Cancel" buttons.
· Proven ability to multi-task
· Solid writing and visual communication skills
· Familiarity with usability heuristics and relevant HCI literature
. Knowledge of Viso or other tool for generating wireframes and behavior specifications
Note: this position is not suitable for people who are primarily Graphic Designers, Implementation Specialists, Usability Analysts, or Information Architects without experience developing large-scale websites or software products. We value those people, and you'll meet many of them at HUGE, but that's not how we define Interaction Designer.
