This Product Designer will be assisting the product managers with their UX and UI designs as they look to enhance Wand, as well as work on new products.

We need to see the designers portfolio, and they need to do a design challenge to be submitted.

The design challenge should take about 2 hours, and they should also attach a word document that states some of their assumptions and thought process throughout the design challenge, so the manager can understand why they did what they did


Needs to be more visual UI focused.
Someone that has worked at a startup on the product team and has experience working with PM’s and Engineers

Definitely looking for someone that is UI savvy and has some experience in UX.

I would say 70/30 UI/UX or even 80/20 - So they should be stronger in UI.
