UX Designer

What will you be doing?

As a UX Designer at Betty Blocks, you will be focused on improving the user experience of our platform on a daily basis. Of course, you won't be doing this alone. You'll be working with experienced development teams and one other UX Designer, collectively elevating the digital experience of Betty Blocks users to the next level.

In this role you'll brainstorm how best to serve our users. Users from all over the world engage with your ideas daily. This could involve improving an existing component or developing entirely new functionality. Keeping in mind the vision and style of the Betty Blocks platform, you'll start with various sketches. You'll collaborate closely with the product owners. They have a product vision and provide the 'what.' It's your task to discuss this and visualize it in the form of sketches, prototypes, and designs.

You'll gather feedback from various users and stakeholders to validate whether we are delivering value with our product. You'll conduct user tests to support this validation.
