Graphic and UI/UX Designer

About Naya

Naya was co-founded by Vivek and Saad at Harvard after 10+ years of real-world struggle in coordinating the chaos of the design process. Backed by some of the world’s best investors, they developed a platform which brings the entire digital workflow into one home. A place where brainstorms, 2D drawings, 3D models, spreadsheets, presentations, videos, and 150+ integrations/file types can co-exist, be collaborated on, organised, shared, and presented.

With the design journey in one home, Naya AI empowers teams to 1) generate 2D concepts, 3D models, and presentations, which enable greater creativity in the front end of the design process, and 2) create insights related to estimation, manufacturing, and value engineering, which help save time and cost in the back end of the design process. With a unified design home, creative teams at Google, MillerKnoll, and Adidas are moving more quickly through design iterations, collaborating more effectively, and driving greater innovation and delight for their customers.

Role

• Visual storytelling. Translate ideas, features, and updates into visuals that move people. From social media campaigns to product highlights to presentation decks, you know how to make information beautiful and engaging.
• Brand expression. Approach every touchpoint as an opportunity to build and evolve the brand. Define how Naya looks and feels through typography, graphics, motion, and tone.

• Feedback. Get feedback from users, teammates, experts, and friends as a core part of the design process. You know how to ask good questions and navigate feedback to inform the end product.
• Navigating ambiguity. Break down complicated processes, identify core problems, and have a plan for how to proceed. You take initiative to chart a path through the unknown.
• End-to-end design. Design new features from scratch and improve existing ones. Own the process from scope definition to low-fidelity sketches, high-fidelity designs, and handoff specifications.
• Flow + interaction details. Fluidly transition between the big picture and the smallest details to create seamless user experiences.
• Pixel perfection. See highly-refined visuals and UI through to the end, including typography, visual hierarchy, and design systems.

• Organized. Sticky notes, calendars, to-do lists, whatever. This job requires a lot of time management.
• Fast & scrappy. You move quickly, iterate, and share rough work along the way.
• Obsessed with quality. One wrong pixel is like the pea under the princess’s mattress. It drives you bananas

• Customer-obsessed. You’re a great listener. Can you feel their pain? Can you share stories that resonate with their perspectives?
• Strategist. You love UX but understand systems and business strategy too.
• Builder. By nature, you love to make things. Strategies, plans, graphics, platforms.
• Storyteller. Graphics, animations, sticky notes, paragraphs, whatever. You use all the tools at your disposal to get the point across.
