Are you drooling? If you are, then we’ve both come to the right place. Serendipity brought us here. Or fate. Or maybe it was our Freelance Senior UX Strategist job opening.
We’re looking for someone who’s as passionate about human behavior as they are about applying research methods and gathering critical user insights. Someone who giggles a little inside when they get to play with wireframes and workflows.
