What You'll Be Working On

Mission

Finch was started by 2 friends (Nino & Steph 🙇🏾‍♂️🙇🏻‍♀️) who struggled with anxiety and depression and found self-care challenging to stick with. Finch was built to make self care fun and accessible after seeing many others share similar struggles.

The app was launched in 2021, and our team is grateful to be able to help others on their mental health journeys. At Finch we are creating the most accessible, fun, and comprehensive self-care solution to help everyone feel happier and more supported each day.

Role Summary

Finch has unique design opportunities as it straddles the line between wellness and game, and our design challenges reflect that. We’re passionate about making self-care feel easy and fun for everyone, and strive to design playful, delightful experiences we hope users will love. If those sorts of creative challenges are interesting to you, read on!

Key Responsibilities

  • Design playful & delightful flows, interactions, and high-fidelity visuals for mental health exercises, gaming mechanics, and growth loops. Prototype concrete solutions to ambiguous product challenges.
  • Create new design patterns that are intuitive and practical. Evolve our design system intentionally as we scale.
  • Design product concepts that balance product vision, speed, and business potential.
  • Work cross-functionally with engineering, product design, character design and character animation.

  • How can we create playful product experiences that can make daily self care and mental health fun and sustainably engaging?
