Product Designer (Full-Time)
About IYK:
IYK is the platform for brands, musicians, and creators to deploy fully-customizable, digi-physical experiences at scale. Through combining blockchain and NFC technology, we strive to create immersive experiences that bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds.
With a proven track record of collaborations with industry leaders such as Adidas, BB3 Labs (Billionaire Boys Club), and 9dcc, we continue to re-imagine the relationship between consumers and the items they own.
We are also backed by a team of amazing investors, including a16z CSS, Collab+Currency, 1kx, POAP, gmoney, Palm Tree Crew, and Lattice Capital.
The Design Team:
Our team believes in designing products that resonate because we prioritize the human experience. We uphold genuine collaboration — devoid of ego, and are committed to creating meaningful work that is engaging, beautiful, and necessary. We consistently push boundaries, moving beyond the conventional and the literal. We understand when to break rules, and appreciate nuance. Currently, we are on a mission to discover and establish the next standard of UX/UI that will set a new benchmark for interactions within the digital-physical world.
