About Us
Frontier is a design office that believes in the expansive potential of storytelling to help people get somewhere new. To us, this means creating exceptional brands and experiences with purpose at their core. We work with clients and on our own projects to celebrate BIG—Brave, Imaginative, and Guiding—initiatives leading us toward a better future for people and the planet. It means our work spans all types of design challenges, and we have a pretty deep toolbox with which we approach them.
For a decade, people have come to us because we’re experts at drawing together diverse perspectives into something unified and resonant. Generating ideas, building consensus, setting direction: we accelerate this work by listening closely and bringing to bear new tools and methods of understanding and shaping what’s next. We draw from diverse realms—like contemporary art, purpose design, playful speculation, and radical technologies—to help organizations and their people understand the edges and make progress that matters.
This pluralistic approach to purposeful branding leads to genuinely inspiring and strategic stories that we turn into momentum-building brand identities, exhibitions, websites, campaigns, books, and videos.
In addition to design services for partners, our commitment to big stories runs through studio-initiated projects. These include Frontier Magazine, an online publication about new and newly relevant ideas in the culture, architecture, technology, and education; Projectory, an experiential learning platform that trains organizations on building future resilience; and Live Magazine, a traveling editorial project.
 The Role
We’re looking for a dedicated, self-motivated designer to join our team. In a design role, you’ll directly contribute to the development and creation of visual-communication projects, with a focus on visual identities, brand roll-outs, and websites. Proficiency across technical software and working knowledge of detail-oriented design tasks is a baseline for any of our design roles. You will also be expected to support strategic projects, attend research activities, and participate in client workshops. You should be comfortable participating in design critiques and giving and taking feedback, as well as be excited to learn from others. Our studio manages many projects at once, and you’ll be expected to manage your time across several different projects, some as the sole designer and others as a member of a design team.
This role reports to Tristan Marantos, Associate Creative Director. 
What You’ll Do:
<ul>
<li>You’ll work alongside other members of the design team leading and/or supporting the development of specific design concepts or project tasks with guidance from senior creative staff. This can include developing and refining visual identity systems, designing websites and digital user experiences, developing narrative creative presentations, and designing exhibitions and physical installations.</li>
<li>You’ll be expected to manage your given tasks each week across projects and maintain close communication with your design leads.</li>
<li>You’ll participate in weekly studio and project-team meetings, during which you’ll share your work with the team and participate in design conversations.</li>
<li>Based on your experience, you’ll help provide guidance and motivation to fellow designers by fostering a healthy and supportive working relationship with teammates and sharing new ideas, references, and examples with others.</li>
<li>As a small team, our culture is important. We’re excited for each member of our team to add to this environment and participate in studio activities outside of regular design tasks.</li>
</ul>
Who you are:
<ul>
<li>You have 2–5 years of experience in a studio setting, leading and/or supporting the development of idea-driven visual identities, websites, editorial projects, and spatial projects for clients, from concept to completion.</li>
<li>You are an enthusiastic, well-organized, and self-motivated individual with the ability to rationalize and clearly communicate ideas within a design context.</li>
<li>You are excited to join a small, fast-paced design practice and are comfortable balancing diverse tasks.</li>
<li>You possess excellent knowledge of graphic design principles such as visual storytelling, typography, hierarchy and structure, designing for print, interactivity and web-design principles, and photography/photo editing.</li>
<li>You have excellent knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), presentation software (Pitch, Google Documents), and Figma.</li>
</ul>
Nice to haves (great if you have one of these, but not required):
<ul>
<li>Experience writing design strategy and conducting design research (interviewing, workshops, facilitation)</li>
<li>Experience with motion design and video editing, using software such as Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere.</li>
<li>Experience with the development of wayfinding systems and designing signage programs.</li>
</ul>

Headway

Headway is building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access. We make it easy for people to find quality in-network mental health care by removing historic barriers faced by mental health providers, payers, and patients. 
1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but the vast majority do not get the care they need. The primary reason is cost: the majority of therapists do not accept insurance, meaning paying for therapy is prohibitively expensive for prospective patients. This is where we got our start – Headway has built the first software-enabled network of therapists who accept health insurance, making it easy for therapists to grow their practices, and possible for patients to find quality care they can afford. 
We launched in April of 2019 and are now powering 400,000+ appointments per month. To scale our vision, we’ve raised over $100 million in funding from a16z, Thrive, Accel, and Google Ventures.
Join us, and make an impact

You will:
<ul>
<li>Use your product thinking, visual design, and system steward skills to collaborate with a talented and mission driven XFN team to evolve our product vision and build product solutions.</li>
<li>Contribute and evolve Headway design system (Helix) as we scale the provider experiences. </li>
<li>Contribute to the team culture, process, foundation and help grow a world class startup design team.</li>
</ul>
You will be a great fit if:
<ul>
<li>You have experience in leading and delivering product solutions of large and/or ambiguous scope, usually at a more system level.</li>
<li>You’re inspired by complex customer problems, early stage product development, setting vision, and helping teams hold a high bar for craft.</li>
