Senior Designer, Visual Interaction Design

We’re looking for a Visual Interaction Designer to join our Cambridge Studio who is passionate about crafting elegant, thoughtful user experiences, and who brings strong visual design craft to the interactions people have with complex systems, software, services, and each other.

Visual Interaction Designers at IDEO shape how experiences look, feel, and behave. In this role, you’ll translate human-centered insights into clear, compelling interactions and interfaces that are functional, expressive, and meaningful. You’ll balance visual excellence with usability, and bring a distinct visual voice to each design challenge while learning and growing alongside a multidisciplinary team.

This is a phenomenal opportunity for designers who are highly self-guided, eager to take on complexity, and motivated to continually sharpen their craft.

Contribute to a diverse portfolio of projects spanning data, experience, interaction, digital product, and service design across a range of industries

Work across all phases of a project, from research synthesis and concepting through prototyping, refinement, and production-ready execution

Translate human-centered insights into interaction models, visual systems, and polished digital interfaces

Create “looks-like / works-like” prototypes to explore ideas, test assumptions, and communicate concepts to teammates and client stakeholders

Collaborate closely with designers from different backgrounds—including design research, business design, industrial design, and communication design—to develop cohesive, holistic experiences

Design across a wide variety of mediums and contexts, such as mobile apps, websites, digital/physical systems, room-scale displays, AR/VR, or voice interfaces, always guided by user needs and context

Advocate for high-quality visual and interaction design, contributing to a culture of strong craft, curiosity, and experimentation
