Visual Design Instructor (Part-Time)

DESIGNATION is a full-time, full-immersion, full-stack design bootcamp. Over 12 weeks, students learn digital design, front-end development and user experience (UX), and build their portfolios by working with live clients on real world projects.

You love UI and visual design and have a lot of experience in it. You are a designer by day, but you would love to teach aspiring design students the power of good design, UI, with a solid base in UX principles. The Visual Design Instructor role is an evening part-time position, with 6pm - 9pm lectures three times per month, as well as a Saturday workshop and office hours.

Responsibilities:

• Teach UI and visual design to students (4 classes/month); you would teach DESIGNATION's proprietary design curriculum, but would be able to add your own flavors to the content

• Mentor students and provide feedback in-person and via email

• Connect job-ready students with any potential opportunities; interface with the student job placement program

• Contribute to improve the UI and visual design curriculum
• Contribute UI and visual design thought leadership articles to the DESIGNATION blog, and speak or host workshops/events throughout the year

• 4+ years industry experience

• You are a working professional with a passion for digital design and user-centered design; you have a ton of experiences and insights to share with aspiring students who want to break into the UI and visual design field

• You love technology, and are committed to helping people understand the principles of user interface and visual design

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills

• Educational background is a plus, but not a requirement
