Are you a Graphic Designer looking to break into Tech & UX? Tired of jobs devoid of meaning? Ready to use your design skills to make a real difference in people's emotional well-being? At Equanima, an AI impact-driven startup, we are looking for a creative Graphic Designer to join our mission of empowering individuals through emotional intelligence (EQ). The unique opportunity: We know it is hard to transition from Graphic Design to UX without "official" experience. We want to solve that. We are looking for a candidate with a strong visual foundation (branding, print, social, animation) who is eager to learn UX/UI on the job. You will handle our visual identity immediately, and we will teach you the ropes of Product Design, wireframing, and user experience. This position is part of a government-funded initiative to promote innovation and young talent in R&D. ➡️ A link to your design portfolio is required. 🚀 How You Will Make a Difference You will split your time between acting as the guardian of our visual brand and learning how to build our digital product. 1.
