Content Designer
The role of content designer is a newly-defined one, and one that Tangible embraces fully. Tangible’s Content Designers are much more than copywriters, though they excel at writing compelling and engaging content. Content Designers think about the design behind the content with a focus on how to serve audiences the information they need, when they need it, and in a format they’ll understand. They closely collaborate with strategists and visual designers, and are comfortable working in Figma design files that bring their copy to life.
