HUGE is an innovative design firm location in New York and Los Angeles with a renowned team of designers, programmers, and interaction specialists, all with a dedication to beautiful, highly-functional design. Our work has won countless awards and weâve got a long list of smart, happy clients including IKEA, JetBlue, AOL, Atlantic Records, and Scholastic.
Senior Interaction designers are a very important part of the HUGE process. We give them a relatively wide set of responsibilities and involve them throughout all key stages of product planning, definition and design. The ID process starts by developing the correct conceptual model–understanding exactly who the users are and describing and ranking their goals and behaviors. This work is typically used to drive not only the design but the goals of the entire project. Then the team employs a variety of proven research and design techniques, everything from card-sorting to persona development to prototyping, in order to move towards a solution.
The basic mission of the Senior Interaction Designer at HUGE is to become the âproduct managerâ of your project, using whatever parts of the HUGE methodology you believe are necessary for the design to be a massive success with users.
