UX/UI Designer

Studio Hyperdrive is an experienced digital product studio striving for durable digital growth. Already 40 strong. Based in Antwerp & Ghent!

Studio Hyperdrive is looking for fresh UX/UI talent to join its ranks. Whether you’re looking for your first professional job experience, or already have a few years under your belt. You’ll join a team of design experts that will help you grow your skill set and understanding of the design field. In this role you’ll help us translate client and user needs into durable, digital products. You’ll become part of one of our multidisciplinary project teams, where you’ll help shape the end user experience with a keen focus on the UI and visual fidelity of the project. All while helping to carry the project over the finish line.

You’re aware of the larger design thinking process, but maybe feel there’s more for you to learn, practise and in time preach. You’re also excited to try your hand at some new tasks along the way, like pitching in with workshops, analysis, information architecture, prototypes, user testing and more. Most importantly, you’re an empath that thrives in co-creation environments with colleagues and clients. And you’re hungry to discover new solutions where business requirements and common sense meet.

As a junior (or medior) designer in our team, you’ll report directly to our Lead UX Designer or department head who will help guide your work and hone your new skills. Initially your work will focus on creating both detailed design mock-ups as well as wireframes, with room to grow as your skills develop. Besides working with your other UX and design colleagues, you’ll also get to collaborate with our in-house engineers, thinkers and other problem solvers on a daily basis.

You have a positive, outspoken and winning attitude. And you’re not afraid to help pitch your work to clients. Clear deadlines are never an issue, and you’re well organized. We offer our team members a lot of flexibility to find the perfect work-life balance, though there might be times we’ll ask you to return the favor.
