This is a pre-seed stage AI Fintech startup. We are looking for an intern UI/UX Designer for our applications.

At Factorise you get the chance to go beyond talking, studying, reading and theorizing about AI – you get to build AI applications. You will no longer be a passive recipient merely consuming content.

UX and UI are two distinct domains though overlapping. UI = the visual elements of a product or a website. Elements are e.g. layout, color scheme, typography, and product aesthetics. UX = the way users interact with a product or website. Elements e.g. navigation, usability, and overall functionality. Both are needed for creating a successful product. A well-designed UI can make a product more visually appealing, while a well-designed UX can make it more user-friendly and easy to use. You of course know this. We are trying to find a person who spans both fields, but consider applying as as well if you are mostly familiar witin one of the domains.
