Digital Designer (Remote)

About Bukwild

Bukwild is a boutique studio comprised of hands-on experts that deliver world-class digital experiences for branded DTC commerce and innovators in B2B. We believe you can deliver world-class craft from team members who are supported, honored and encouraged to find the right balance of work life and real life. We maintain a very collaborative culture where our teams in project management, strategy, design, and development work closely with our clients. Our 20 years of experience has led us to a distinctly user-first approach: we believe that when digital teams intentionally prioritize UX outcomes as related to business goals, it will ultimately yield stronger connections between brands and their consumers.

  

Working Together

We realize that there is a high bar to delivering a great customer experience, while also providing a platform that’s easy for clients to manage without having to keep an agency on speed dial. We have actively structured our project teams to deliver on these challenges – every website project has a dedicated Strategist to steward consumer insights and best practices, a Designer who can bring a brand’s position to life on the web, and also design for performance and conversion, and a Technology and Project Management team who is well-versed in platform integrations and delivering a scalable tool that empowers our clients’ teams. To be frank, we’ve all worked closely together on these things for years – we understand the obstacles that teams face, and we know how to address them.

At Bukwild we’ve always valued community. Working remotely has made this take a different shape, but we get together twice a year to hang out, spend quality time together, and just have fun.
