WHY SONDER

Sonder is a team of highly motivated designers, developers, and creatives. We get riled up when talking about good design and feel a genuine desire to fix things when we see something that isn’t working. We believe if something is worth doing it’s worth doing well. There isn’t a single “right” way to solve a problem. It’s our job to uncover which solution is best for each project.
We are seeking a talented and passionate Designer to join our creative team. The ideal candidate will have a strong portfolio and experience in website design, UI/UX, and front-end development. This role will be integral in shaping online presences across various industries. You will be responsible from initial concept to final execution.

WHO YOU ARE

We’re looking for a designer who is driven and thoughtful. You’re a problem solver at heart. You’re a good listener who can ask critical questions to help inform your design brief. You search for the “why” behind decisions and make sure the design is supporting the project goals.
You’re a creative thinker who is detail oriented. You’re dedicated to crafting refined aesthetics. You know the importance of good typography, spacing, and visual balance. There is no disconnect between how you translate your designs into development. You’re determined to leave a positive impact through creativity. You show up everyday to make it count and support your teammates along the way. You’re passionate about supporting both design and development.
