Hi, we’re Bunsen. We do creative work for science companies who are solving some of the toughest problems on the planet, like inventing and implementing brain computer interfaces, or developing tools to help us design biology, and others who explore the unique immune system of the brain. Mostly, we help these folks be understood so that they can achieve their most ambitious goals. We’re creators who need the collaborative support of a master web designer. Maybe that’s you?

Description

As a Senior Web Designer, you are the design lead on projects beside the content lead and project manager. The three of you together are the core team. You work directly with the client from the beginning of the project intaking the deep insights into their science and beginning to map that to visual concepts. With the support of content, you create wireframes that are the foundations for the design work ahead. As a lead, you may pull in brand design for building out a brand with the client, pull on the 3D Designer or Motion Designer to support with your vision. You’ll have the support of a Creative Director to bounce your vision off of as you work to dial in a visual direction that meets client business goals. The final products are emotionally impactful, clear communicating, user-friendly marketing websites, decks or marketing collateral. You have extensive experience designing for a variety of clients and audiences, and you stay up-to-date with the latest web design tools and trends. When someone talks about typography hierarchy, and clear layout your heart beats faster. This ain’t your first rodeo.

• Collaborating with our team to understand business goals, key messages, target audiences, and clients competition
