About Us
Making Home Life Better
The HomesByDesign Group has recently been formed to build on the growing success of its established and primary subsidiary BathroomsByDesign. Our mission is to improve people’s homes, health and wellbeing with beautiful, affordable and expertly designed solutions for the home.
A technology led retail business, the ByDesign concept of using our proprietary KADware® (Knowledge Aided Design) Software and Plan2Design Virtual Reality App to serve customers in a totally unique and streamlined way sets us apart from our competitors in the market. It gives us the springboard to constantly look to improve how we operate and how we can continue to deliver a unique, immersive and effortless customer experience with our Software and VR App central to this experience.
Whilst we are currently a retail organisation, our tech infrastructure will enable us to expand into new sectors and markets internationally with the same mission firmly in place. Our hope is that one day everyone in the world will have a place they can proudly call home. Everything we do now and in the future will be underpinned by this.
About You
As Group UX/UI Designer, you’ll build products that both empower and delight. Reporting to the Head of Technology You’ll focus on user-centric design principles to help craft a variety of HomesByDesign Group experiences that span across the web, mobile and beyond. We place a high value on individuals who are self-motivated and can work across the design disciplines of UI, UX, and Visual Design.
You will be someone with high attention to detail and who is technically proficient in Illustrator, Photoshop, XD or similar as well as familiarity with rapid prototyping tools is a plus. The purpose of this role is to take some of the weight of asset building off of the conceptual teams by utilizing efficient production workflows that also ensure pixel-perfect asset delivery under tight deadlines. You must be able to take design direction with ease while staying extremely organized and comfortable managing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
We have developed innovative Design&Buy Tools for our bathroomsbydesign.com website that you will be responsible for improving. These tools are a little rough around the edges so you will be focused on sanitising where appropriate and maximising the commercial effectiveness of them.
A key part of our evolution will see the launch of our new HomesByDesign website, building on the software we have developed for the bathroom industry and taking it into the home improvement industry as a whole. You will be responsible for the UX Design, taking the principals of the unique design led approach we have for BathroomsbyDesign.
