Are You One of Us?
smashLAB is a very small agency, and as such, we really don’t bring on that many new folks. That being said, we’re always on the lookout for bright people who might be a good fit here.
What We're Looking for at smashLAB
The Toughest
Shop in Town
Few say it’s easy to work at smashLAB. Then of course, who ever said “easy” was a good thing? Those who choose smashLAB are typically smart, hard-working, and driven. We have high expectations, and those who last here seem to appreciate that. We concentrate on working diligently, methodically, and in a meticulous fashion, because we're "in it" to make great stuff. As such, we have no ping pong table or fun room; instead, we get excited about learning new things and growing stronger at our respective crafts.
Why We Do It
There are a lot of agencies out there, but smashLAB is fundamentally a different kind of company. All of us here are passionate about making great design that matters. This means projects like Design Can Change, an effort to combat climate change, which design critic Rick Poyner calls, "one of the most notable initiatives coming from design practice." It also is indicative of our projects like MakeFive, a community for sharing opinions, and shiftCMS, the first content management system that truly doesn't suck.
Small and Decent
Part of the appeal of a place like smashLAB is in being part of an aggressive little shop. We're passionate about what we do; if that's your thing too, it sure does make for a nice environment. Our space is open concept and we work together closely. We offer staff benefits including health and dental care, transit passes, and other little perks.
