ITHI — Creative Sanctuary for the Storytelling Age —
UI/UX Designer Full-Time · Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad · ₹9,00,000 per annum
About Ithi Ithi is more than a company — it's a creative sanctuary for the storytelling age. We are a cinematic ecosystem that nurtures directors, writers, producers, designers, and all creative collaborators. Our mission is to bridge the gap between imagination and execution, empowering storytellers with the tools, environment, and community to create timeless work.
Rooted in presence, authenticity, and collaboration, Ithi exists as a counterspace in a world of distractions — a place where attention sharpens, creativity thrives, and the story is sovereign.
Role Overview We are looking for a full-time UI/UX Designer who can craft immersive, intuitive, and emotionally resonant user experiences that reflect Ithi's creative ethos. This is, at its core, a user interface design role with a specialization in motion — someone who can enhance product experience through animation, micro-interactions, and elemental transitions, rather than a 3D artist or motion-graphics generalist. We're not looking for someone to build a phenomenal product from scratch — we're looking for someone who can make a product phenomenal to use.
The ideal candidate is both aesthetically sensitive and strategically minded, capable of translating Ithi's brand values into digital experiences that feel as soulful and intentional as our stories.
Key Responsibilities
Design & Prototyping
- Create wireframes, high-fidelity UI designs, and interactive prototypes.
- Build visually rich yet minimalist interfaces inspired by Ithi's earthy, cinematic, and tactile visual world.
- Design elemental transitions, micro-interactions, and motion within interfaces to enhance usability and emotional resonance.
Brand Integration
- Translate Ithi's tone — warm, soulful, intentional — into consistent UI/UX design patterns.
- Incorporate brand elements like sacred geometry, film textures, and handcrafted typography into the interface design.
- Apply motion sensibility to branding, bringing strong visual craft — color, form, texture, and shape — together with movement.
Collaboration
- Work closely with creative directors, developers, and branding teams.
- Participate in brainstorming sessions to align design concepts with storytelling goals.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Design, HCI, Fine Arts, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- 0–3 years of professional UI/UX design experience.
- Strong prototyping capability, with demonstrated experience designing interactions and micro-interactions within interfaces (not just static screens).
- Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite; working knowledge of a secondary motion tool such as After Effects or Premiere Pro.
- Strong portfolio demonstrating both visual design finesse and user-centered thinking — ideally with specific examples of interaction or motion design within creative products or applications.
- Strong visual craft: a solid grasp of color, form, texture, and shape as fundamentals of design, combined with the ability to apply motion to them.
- Understanding of responsive design, accessibility, and cross-platform consistency.
- Enough awareness of front-end feasibility to judge whether a given motion or interaction is realistically implementable on web — no coding ability required.
- Ability to integrate narrative and emotion into digital interfaces.
Preferred Skills
- Experience in designing for creative platforms, film, or media industries — candidates from adjacent creative fields (e.g., film) are welcome if their interface design skills are strong.
- Background in motion design and micro-interactions specific to user interfaces (3D skills are a plus but not required).
- An appreciation for cinema, storytelling, and artistic collaboration.
Why Join Ithi?
- Be part of a creative refuge that values art, authenticity, and innovation.
- Work in an inclusive and collaborative environment that respects every voice.
- Shape the digital expression of a brand dedicated to building legacies, not trends.
- Collaborate with a diverse network of global storytellers and creative professionals.
