//////////////////////// About Table XI ////////////////////////
(<a href="http://www.tablexi.com" >)
Table XI is a Chicago-based digital consultancy, focused on building web and mobile applications that deliver business value to our customers. Many of our clients look to us to be their IT department, and we make decisions that affect the long-term success of their businesses. We do most of our work from our studio in Chicago and have a chef on staff who prepares gourmet lunch daily.
As a Table XI employee, you’ll work side-by-side and get exposure to many different people and projects. We’ve developed web and mobile applications for clients like Roger Ebert Digital, The Field Museum, Chicago Ideas Week, the YMCA of Chicago, fashion designer Maria Pinto, The Spice House, PechaKucha, Northwestern University, and many more. We love a challenge, and we’re not afraid to reinvent the wheel when the wheel isn’t good enough.

* have a few years of web development experience and are looking for an exciting new opportunity
* have a background in one or more of the the following: Ruby, JavaScript, HTML/CSS and Objective-C.

Being a Senior Web Designer at Table XI is more than just creating nice looking Photoshop files. You will be responsible for guiding the design direction and execution on a variety of projects and work directly with our researchers, developers and existing design team. You will also regularly deliver work to our clients, and must have experience in presenting work and constructively working through feedback. The role requires an understanding of the current state of CSS capabilities and how to manage their graceful degradation &amp; an approach that values function and usefulness over novelty and trend.
We're looking for a designer who:
​* is as comfortable designing in the browser as in Photoshop
* thinks about the fluidity of designs beyond “mobile”, “tablet” and “desktop”
* has experience working on web projects with small teams that include developers and designers
* hasn't ever used the phrase “good design will sell itself”
* has opinions on [fill in current web trend here]
* possesses strong typographic skills
* has mastered the principles of layout and color theory
* regularly builds designs using Haml and Sass
