Chief of Web + App Design

  • Full-time

Company Description

Hi, we're the City-State of DBC, a data-driven creative branding agency. Our mission is to "champion the citizen" —our clients. We do this by being radically autonomous & courageously persistent, stretching our capabilities to push boundaries and actively challenge pre-established beliefs of design, work, and branding to help our citizens stand out.

The modus operandi here is self-rule — you own your choices because these choices are your own — always knowing rules work best when broken. We don't work for hours. We work for better. When the tasks are more challenging, the payoff is more significant — the most exceptional quality to have here is effort.

We're looking for a fellow dissident to join our community of hard-working free-thinkers.
