Senior UI Designer

Native designs products that get made. Since 1997 we've worked across the US, Europe and Asia for the companies that take the object seriously: Bowers & Wilkins, Bang & Olufsen, Audi, Coloplast, Baxter, Bentley, HP and others we can't name yet. Along the way we've collected more international design awards than any independent studio in Europe. We've turned down every offer to be acquired because independence is what lets us tell a client the truth.
 
We're looking for a passionate, collaborative and creative Senior UI Designer with an impeccable eye for beauty, a head full of ideas and a strong sense of creative direction to join our studio in Shoreditch. We're hired to create wholly new products and experiences, so we're as much inventors as designers.
 
As a Senior UI Designer, you'll help define the future of our digital output, shaping remarkable experiences across tech, healthcare, wellness and automotive. You'll set visual design direction and deliver excellence across many platforms - from multi-modal AI experiences, beautiful UI, emotionally engaging motion design and 3D prototypes. You'll take ownership of creative output, grow into a mentorship role, and have a genuine influence on how the studio evolves.
 
You'll work with some of the world's best designers, developers, anthropologists, strategists, and engineers to make work that pushes boundaries, challenges perceptions, and - occasionally - changes the world.

You
Here’s an idea of the sort of Senior UI Designer we hope is reading this: 

• Experienced & Agency-Tested: You’ve honed your skills in a fast-paced, creative, (product, advertising, marketing or branding) agency environment, where you’ve delivered high-impact work across a range of industries.
• Storyteller: You don’t just design, you shape narratives. You can articulate the thinking behind your work in a way that resonates with clients, teams, and users alike.
• AI proficient: You actively explore new AI tools and thoughtfully integrate them into your workflow - not for novelty, but to elevate speed, craft, and thinking.
• Cross-Disciplinary Fluent: You understand 3D and motion – bridging the gap between tactile and digital.
• Visionary Thinker: You are full of ideas and bring creative thinking and technological curiosity to every challenge. You push what’s possible and influence others to do the same.
• Leadership Minded: You're ready to step into a bigger role. You naturally guide more junior designers, earn trust across disciplines, and think about the craft at a studio level not just project level.
• Craft-Led: You're obsessive about typography, hierarchy, layout, and interaction, with an eye for flawless visual execution.
• Adaptable: We're not afraid to scrap an idea. Sometimes, we build it, test it, and start again. If this doesn't fill you with dread, and you're excited by the idea of being the person who helps shape what comes next, you'll make the work of your life at Native
• Passionate: A passion for what you do is essential. We believe the best creatives genuinely enjoy their work.
