Also note that this work will already be in progress when the designer starts, and may require reworking some of what is already in progress, as well as enhancing existing executions with additional, more sophisticated features.

We hope for the UX/UI designer to help lead a light version of a UAT phase this summer, too. (We do not expect to have sophisticated tooling in place for this UAT effort.)

We hope to find a UX/UI designer who is flexible and accommodating, as this project has some non-standard elements that will require us to be nimble and creative.

Will require work samples that demonstrate UX and UI work.

  • Mobile experience for the Imagine 2050 website

  • Adjust existing design work to better navigate lengthy content

  • About section content
