[Jobs Roundup] Here’s the chance to unleash your creativity by designing for these startups
Designing is not just about making things look nice. Design-led thinking helps companies think broadly about user needs. You can be a part of this journey by working with startups such as Myntra Jabong, and Curefit.
India is host to the third largest startup ecosystem in the world. And for most early-stage startups , the focus is mostly on establishing the product and raising investments. These firms may not really think about branding and designing, other than creating a logo, and developing a basic website to reach out to their customers.
However, as these startups grow and competition picks up, it becomes crucial to achieve their best look, feel, and function on the web. Better design means better engagement with customers, and a designer’s perspective will also help understand the product in a useful way.
From fashion designers to visual designers and graphic designers, many startups are looking for in-house designers to enhance their product, branding, as well as sales and marketing. YourStory lists a few designer job openings in startups.
