Mastery of modern mobile interaction patterns — from gestural navigation, feed-based discovery, and personalized surfaces to seamless transactional flows.
Strong sense of visual craft, motion, and interaction design — with an instinct for creating fresh, intuitive, and emotionally resonant user experiences.
Ability to drive ambiguous initiatives, set design direction, and influence product strategy at the executive level.
Deep understanding of consumer psychology, trust design, and behavioral patterns in mobile commerce ecosystems.
A collaborative mindset and passion for building products that feel alive, social, and future-forward.

Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end mobile design across iOS and Android — from insight to execution — with a focus on performance, delight, and forward-looking interaction design.
Drive the modernization of the Weedmaps app by introducing cutting-edge mobile design paradigms and interaction models rooted in today’s top consumer products.
Translate strategy into deeply engaging experiences across discovery, browsing, ordering, personalization, and social connection.
Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Brand leadership to define a cohesive design language and elevate our visual and interaction standards.
