Designer

You may have designed your last marketing communications web site! Apply your valuable design skills to new types of challenges like improving the operations of a hospital, streamlining a government agency’s processes or helping people see important messages in a sea of data. Our everyday challenges have always come from within the operations of some of the world’s most complicated businesses. You will work side by side with design researchers, our clients’ own business experts and technologists to explore better ways of doing business and designing systems that allow people to work better.

In the agency world you may have helped people navigate e-commerce. At Electronic Ink, you may help someone save a life.
