As a Visual Designer, you’ll delight users with designs that inspire, engage and excite them. You’ll rely on user-centered design principles to produce high-quality visuals—from concept to execution—across many platforms. You’ll collaborate with your fellow designers to constantly refine the Google design language and create innovative, great-looking products that people love to use. Our team is interested in our users and strive to learn everything we can about their behaviors, attitudes and emotions to help define the products and experiences we create. You'll collaborate daily with a diverse set of specialists from designers, filmmakers, strategists, technologists, writers and producers. We’re an optimistic solutions focused team who collaborated with teams to solve complex challenges and craft experiences that highlight our products’ unique capabilities and personalities.
Know the user. Know the magic. Connect the two. At its core, marketing at Google starts with technology and ends with the user, bringing both together in unconventional ways. Our job is to demonstrate how Google's products solve the world's problems--from the everyday to the epic, from the mundane to the monumental. And we approach marketing in a way that only Google can--changing the game, redefining the medium, making the user the priority, and ultimately, letting the technology speak for itself.
