Overview 

The Toi shop is a design wonderland in the North Pole (actually Valencia) where designers work and listen to cool spotify playlists. We are crazy lucky; we always get to work on cool projects. You will have the opportunity to enjoy industry recognition and meet cool [slash] famous, people [slash] clients.

What does it mean to be a Senior Designer in the Toi shop?

In the words of one of our Senior Designers:

To Be cliche, we’re a small nimble shop with A+ talent.  We insist on a fun, flexible environment where we learn and grow from each other. We look to produce portfolio work every time and we love to push the boundaries. Our main goal as designers is to constantly grow, never be stale.  We build off each other and of course are always trying to impress one and other.

Required Skills:

• Proficiency in Photoshop/Illustrator
• A strong online portfolio (send us your dribbbbbbble profile)
• Passionate about design
• You love pixel perfect UI
• You should be able to show cool sites that make someone say “that’s cool”
• Ability to create/understand site architecture
• Decent people skills (Dave does most of the client chit chat, but still…)
• Good write up skills: designing is awesome, selling it is also awesome.
• You stay on point
• You should speak some dialect of designese

Professional Experience:

• 3+ years experience in an interactive agency setting (it’s all relative to your portfolio really)
• Ability to execute different design styles
• Ability to (if need) manage client communication and presentations confidently

Just send us an online portfolio of your work…  We’re basically looking for good work and a fit with our team really.

What are you doing Saturday, September 24? Nothing? Good!

We are co-hosting The Customation Project next saturday with our good friends at Proxart. The Customation Project is the first unofficial art show about custom, Disney Vinylmations. Featuring work by six artists, we are providing one of our studio offices as the venue to showcase their work.

As designers and creative people, it’s important we support our peers and artists in order to fulfill their passions. Building community is very important to us, which allows us to meet other creatives and be inspired by one another.

If you are in LA county, come on out to The Customation Project! We’ll have drinks, music, live paintings, and artists will be raffling off several vinyl figures (proceeds will go to Autism Speaks).
