Overview

The Design team is currently made up of 10 people: 3 Brand Designers 5 Product Designers one Localization Manager and a Head of Design.

These teams are cross-functional and autonomous (feature teams and impact teams) bringing together product managers product designers and developers. Their mission is simple: to create the simplest and most effective experiences on the market while also being strong facilitators within their teams.

The Brand Designers work to make Yousigns brand shine within our ecosystem. They collaborate closely with the Marketing and Product teams by delivering impactful assets (videos ads website sales decks ) while ensuring strong brand consistency.
