UX Designer

The Daily Texan is shifting its focus to digital! We are looking for a talented user experience designer who wants to lead the transformation of the DT’s online experience.

What you can expect

• A fast-paced, independent project: You’ll be working on creating wireframes and mockups for a new digital experience. This will include both low-fidelity wireframes and high-fidelity mockups, as well as some information architecture if you’re interested.
• An 8-week commitment: This is a short commitment (9/15 – 11/10) but if you’d like to stay longer, you are definitely welcome to.
• Flexible hours: You have complete control over when you work. Busy week? No problem.
• A collaborative experience with mentorship: Work directly with and learn from the web director and a UI Designer
• A finished product: Add those mockups and writeups to your portfolio when you’re done
• Bonus: You’ll be compensated for time and expertise

What we’re looking for

• You love good design but also think about technical specs
• You just feel when experiences are good, or bad. More than that, you can articulate why
• An online portfolio (or two-three previous work samples)
• Experience with creating wireframes and mockups
• Experience with HTML/CSS

Nice-to-have’s

• Experience with Sketch

Apply here. We’ll get in touch with you soon!
