Senior Designer (Digital Emphasis)

SYPartners helps companies, teams, and individuals achieve greatness.

In partnership with Strategists, Designers of all levels (including Creative Directors), Project Managers, UX, IA, Developers and our clients, digitally focused Senior Designers at SYPartners are responsible for designing the experiences and tools that will lead our clients on journeys of discovery, learning, transformation and action. Our work spans all media. This means that no designer at SY works in exclusively one discipline. Designers tend to major in one area of design, but will apply their skills throughout many.
