What will be my responsibilities as a new UX designer in my project team?
As a UX designer, your primary responsibility will be researching with your product manager to understand user needs and translate them into intuitive and practical design solutions. This may involve:
User Research
Information Architecture Design
User Journey Mapping
Wireframing
Prototyping
Usability testing.
What tools/software should I be familiar with?
Our organization Nebula Labs primarily uses four applications:
Figma: We primarily utilize Figma for designing and prototyping. Please ensure that all of your project files are saved in the team drive of Nebula Labs.
Confluence/Jira: All meeting notes and anything related to documentation should be made and used within your respective Confluence/Jira project space. If you cannot access it, please contact your project lead and the Head of Design.
FigJam: All design prints, brainstorming, and user research (i.e User Persona, User Journey Map, etc.) should be compiled into a Figjam document within the team drive of Nebula Labs.
What’s the process of integrating project design into Nebula Labs?
In order to ensure designs are consistent with the organization’s branding and products, all designers should install the following kits in the Assets tab of their Figma account
For mid to high-fidelity designs: Shipfaster UI Kit
For wireframes/low-fi design: Shipfaster Wireframe Kit
Open any Figma Design File
Click the Assets
Click on the Book Icon
Search up “Shipfaster UI - v2.3 (Live)” and “Outline Wireframe Kit”

We strive to hold a design meeting every week to review each person's designs and provide feedback. Additionally, I offer occasional one-on-one design sessions to keep track of your progress and offer guidance as needed. Any scheduled meetings will be announced through Discord.
What is Nebula Lab’s main communication channel?
All communication and announcement will be communicated mainly through Discord.
What is the expectation around working with other team members within your project?
As a UX designer, you'll work closely with your team lead, product manager(s), developer(s), and the Head of Design. Clear and effective communication is key, as well as understanding and respecting the roles and perspectives of other team members.
Who will be my main point of contact?
Your team leader will serve as your primary contact, providing you with assistance and support as you acclimate to your role. Nonetheless, to receive guidance and feedback on design, you can approach Nebula Labs's Head of Design.
