You’ve got the whole form/function thing down pat, and you’re down to join a team that embraces Design in everything they do.

You are collaborative, hardworking, adaptable, with strong initiative. You are rational but innovative. You have a naturally curious mind and a passion for applying pixel-perfect design to creative concepts.

You’re receptive to constructive feedback, a quick learner and continuously looking for ways to grow. No huge egos. Or even medium-size egos. In fact, no ego is better. Okay maybe like a teeny-tiny ego (because you ARE human after all*). You are, right? You must be human. That is definitely a requirement. VSA Partners is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
