- Launching category-defining products for Robinhood, accelerating growth and setting the design benchmark for consumer fintech
- Forging the design foundation and strategy for a scrappy, early-stage startup
- Crafting highly interactive microsites that educate and inform for clients like Google, The Ad Council, and the National Park Foundation

Contractors tend to excel with Viget when they:
- Have at least 5 years of professional experience in their area of expertise
- Have prior experience working at an agency, or as a freelancer or embedded contractor
- Can independently drive complex projects from concept to completion, balancing function, aesthetics, and usability along the way
- Take pride in what they do, consistently delivering high quality work with notable polish and excellent attention to detail
- Meet deadlines and are considerate of clients’ budgets and timelines
- Are responsive, proactive, and effective communicators (written and verbal)
- Collaborate exceptionally well with stakeholders, from cross-discipline peers to C-level executives
- Engage with new technologies with open-minded curiosity and are eager to educate their teams about industry-leading ways to strategize, design, and build.
