Experienced designer interactive installations

We are looking for a new colleague to join our design team! Are you an experienced designer who wants to work on interactive experiences for museums?

About YIPP

At YIPP we create games and interactive installations for museums, science centers and other special places. Mixing the physical with the digital world is what excites us! We are constantly experimenting with the latest technologies and exploring their boundaries. We use all forms of digital media: games, immersive experiences, animation, installations, projection mapping, sensors ... you name it. In addition, our work is about telling stories, explaining something or just trying something out.

We alternate cultural projects with science centers, brand experiences and other clients who have a story to tell. Such as NEMO, London Science Museum, Artis, CERN, Naturalis.

Museums are for everyone. YIPP believes it is important to be as diverse as the audience that plays our games. To us, diversity means diverse ideas and insights that lead to innovation, creativity and solutions. Whether it's cultural background, gender, religion, sexual orientation or age: everyone is welcome.

What will you do?

As a designer, you will work to translate a topic of a museum (or other client) into an interactive concept as part of an exhibition. It helps if you have a broad interest and enjoy delving a bit into the contentmatter. You will be doing this together with a team of content experts, programmers and other designers.

After this you’ll visualize your ideas. You will work alongside a programmer to figure out how your concept is gonna work interactively, design its user experience, and create visuals. Together with the team you’ll initially develop a demo that wil be tested with a target audience. Then you’ll develop the concept further; you’ll create UI designs, layouts, illustrations or animations in consultation with the client and the team.

You have your own style, but you are also able to work with a given look and feel. You’ll deliver your work to the programmers, and together make sure to create an interactive experience that makes people happy and a little bit wiser.

Who are you.

  • You are a strong visual designer with several years of work experience.
  • You are a creative mind who comes up with original concepts.

  • You have experience in UX design and have a clear understanding on how to design a user-friendly product.
  • You master the Dutch language and live in the Netherlands.
