Freelance Proofreader

Description

FREELANCE PROOFREADER, ChaseDesign

who we are

65 years ago, we opened our doors as a one-man industrial design firm a little off the main drag in a sleepy lake town in Central New York. With a fresh degree from a leading institution, the easy thing for our founder to do would have been to join a big firm in a big city.

But where’s the fun in easy?

We scraped. We hustled. We hired. And we grew. A lot. Seriously, a lot.

Today, we’re a leading strategic design consultancy with offices in Central New York, Cincinnati, and New York City, and reach that extends around the globe. Through the unique combination of the insight and strategy expertise of a management consulting firm, the creativity of world-class storytellers and design innovators, and the rapid, in-context prototyping of a manufacturer we’ve become indispensable partners to some of the world's best clients.

who you are

You're humble.

Confident in who you are and what you're capable of,

but equally aware of how you can learn from others and continue to improve.

You're passionate.

Completely invested in the work you do,

and driven to do what it takes to make it better.

You're collaborative.

Excited by the prospect of coming together with co-workers, clients, and vendors

to turn individual talents into extraordinary collective accomplishments.

Most importantly, you're uniquely, unabashedly, unashamedly you.

There is no singular path to a career at ChaseDesign.

No formula for the perfect strategic design consultant.

Because it's our differences in background and perspective

that make us, and the work we do, a heck of a lot better.
