As a Creative Technologist at Droga5, you bridge the best of both worlds: creative concepting and digital execution. In your position, you make magic by thinking of ideas that are not only interesting and user-friendly, but are feasible. You’re an open-minded creative thinker during concepting, a self-starter when you jump into prototyping and/or designing and a collaborator during production. As part of a fledgling group of creative coders and designers, you’re on the front line of pushing the envelope of how to combine technology and creative execution for our clients.
Your work and interests span across as many mediums as there are to make interesting things: web apps, VR, AR, mobile apps, UX, UI, experiential and/or any emerging technology. You intelligently combine technical and creative worlds without using technology just for the sake of technology. Most importantly, you have a genuine passion for it all and love to work with others on it.
