  • Deliver a visual identity handbook for assigned teams.
  • Design icons, screens, and other visual assets for the UIs of the products.
  • Collaborate with the teams to design memorable websites for each startup.

  • You should be entrepreneurial-minded, i.e., you're a self-starter with a bias toward action.
  • You should possess excellent organizational skills.
  • You must be open minded. You know what you don't know and are open to learning new things.
  • You must practice empathy.
  • You must be comfortable in a fast paced and dynamic work environment
