Contractor – Lead Product Designer

Viget is an independent digital agency that has been branding, designing, and building digital products and platforms since 1999. Senior Product Designers at Viget help our clients concept, design, and launch complex digital experiences and compelling products. Their work may include all aspects of the design process including research, explorations, prototyping, and visual design.

We often look to contract designers for opportunities where a client’s needs are more specialized, short-term, or urgent than we’re able to fill with our full-time team.

We are interested in connecting with senior- and lead-level designers who want to join our network of vetted prospective contractors. As client needs come on our radar, we’ll be able to reach out quickly to those who are a strong match. Most opportunities are staffed remotely.

Even if your current availability is limited, we encourage you to connect to be considered for future projects.
