Description

This document serves to outline our general need for flexible design support.
A more detailed Scope of Work (SoW) could be developed collaboratively if we move forward with a partnership.
Given our focus on advanced design for product concepts and experiences, the flexible resources we would tap into would primarily supplement our internal UX/Experience Designers, and Industrial Designers.
Based on our anticipated project pipeline, the activities for flexible support may involve, but are not limited to, the following types of advanced design tasks:
Concept Development & Proposal Creation
Based on gathered insights and strategic objectives, developing compelling product proposals. This requires synthesizing quantitative customer data with qualitative insights to define the core value proposition and shape initial design directions. Detailed Design & Solutioning: Translating approved concepts and proposals into more detailed design solutions across digital (UX/UI) and physical (ID) touchpoints, ensuring alignment with user needs and technical feasibility.
Prototyping: Creating interactive, low-to-medium fidelity prototypes (both digital and physical) to effectively communicate design intent, explore interactions, and facilitate early validation.
Evaluation & Refinement: Participating in or leading design evaluation activities, potentially including co-creation sessions or further design research, to gather feedback on proposed solutions. Iterating on designs based on feedback and insights.
Documentation: Contributing to the refinement of design proposals and potentially assisting in writing baseline Experience Requirements to clearly articulate the desired user outcomes and functional needs.

Skills Required:
UI/UX DESIGN

Experience Required:
To effectively provide the flexible support needed for our advanced design work and integrate seamlessly with our internal human-centered design team, we anticipate requiring resources with specific, experienced skill sets.
We seek UX/Experience Designers who can work strategically based on customer insights and business objectives to identify and define compelling digital and service experience opportunities. This includes expertise in user flows, information architecture, wireframing, interaction design, and creating interactive digital prototypes. Experience in shaping holistic experiences that span physical and digital touchpoints is highly valued.
It is crucial for candidates in all these roles, particularly the designers, to have an understanding of or experience working within projects that involve the integration of physical product design with digital user experiences. Our advanced design work frequently operates at the intersection of these domains, and the ability to think holistically across the physical and digital touchpoints of a product or service is a significant advantage.
Experience in the specific design disciplines relevant to our potential needs (listed above) and proficiency with our core design tools Figma, Blender, Rhino, Alias, Adobe Creative Suite, Miro, ProtoPie, and VRED.
