Designers at Valve work independently and without management, collaborating with world-class software engineers, business leaders, and designers who are continually creating and releasing social entertainment experiences to players around the globe. Designers help to define the features we design, rather than following a vision that's been articulated by someone else. We shape products with functional exploration and design decision-making, following a customer-centric approach as we navigate visual communication, usability, writing, and marketing. Designers at Valve contribute in a wide variety of ways.
