Want to work with us?

We are looking to expand our User Experience and Interface Design team with one or two more members. If you think you may be our guy, please email us at jobs@webreakstuff.com with an answer to the question “What do you believe is the role of design?” and some examples of your previous work. People with a sense of IA and Interaction Design are preferred.

You can work remotely, and will be involved with us on a per-project basis. Depending on your work experience, you may be directly integrated into one of our current projects with startups in the Web 2.0 space. Looking forward to your emails.

About Webreakstuff

Webreakstuff is a product think tank. We've worked with companies like Bell Canada, Techcrunch, Totspot, Sequoia Capital, MTV and Sapo on their own products, and we've built a few of our own (most notably, Goplan - an online collaboration and project management tool). You should follow us on Twitter.

 Our products

Bling

Bling is a platform where people share what they buy and maintain a wishlist of things they want to get. Users can also follow their friends and people they admire, or browse our explore pages - listing what people are adding across the site - for inspiration.

Bling

Back in 2005 we found a need for a great online collaboration tool to manage our clients and projects. We built one for ourselves, and then decided to open it to a greater audience. We turned Goplan into a full-fledged product, and we've been maintaining the platform since.

    does good usability start with having the question use correct grammar???

    Replace ‘to’ with ‘do and there’s a HUGE usability improvement already!

    Not necessarily, myles, but still thanks for pointing it out.

    [...] Finally, make sure you read Matt Webb’s post on “Editing documents as playing music” over at Pulse Laser (which you should be subscribing, too). He proposes a new metaphor to define the interactions you have with documents on your computer. Even if that seems like weird mumbo-jumbo, it’s a great exercise for you IDs out there (seen our job posting?).   [...]
