What You’ll Do

As a web designer at Mad Genius, you’ll wield pixels with purpose, crafting beautiful interfaces and bringing bold ideas to life across web and mobile platforms. You’ll design with users in mind and Figma at your fingertips, turning wireframes into component-based systems that scale and sing. Accessibility isn’t a buzzword; it’s a baseline. You’ll collaborate with developers, think in breakpoints, and speak fluent style guide. You might even throw in a subtle animation (hello, GSAP) when the moment’s right. You’ll bring sharp design thinking to brainstorms, chase elegance in interaction, and use every tool—from grids to gradients—to make the web a better place.

What You’ll Need

• Excellent typography skills, with a strong eye for hierarchy, spacing, readability, and visual balance.
• Expert in Figma for prototyping and maintaining design systems
• Familiarity with branding systems and the ability to apply visual identity consistently
• Comfortable presenting and justifying design decisions to internal teams and clients
• Strong grasp of modern UX principles, interaction design, and usability best practices
• Ability to design responsively across breakpoints with accessibility in mind (WCAG 2.1+)
• Experience designing for CMS-based environments (e.g., WordPress, Statamic, Craft)
• Proficient in mapping user flows, building low-to-high fidelity prototypes, and design documentation
• Basic understanding of Git
• Proficient in HTML5, semantic markup, and modern CSS3 techniques
• Deep understanding of responsive layout, including flexbox, grid, and fluid type scales
• Experience working with Tailwind CSS or similar utility-first frameworks

This role is open for in-house or regional hybrid candidates. Candidates in Mississippi and nearby regional markets encouraged to apply, periodic in-office collaboration required.
