What companies hire graphic designers?

Do Silicon Valley tech companies hire interaction design graduate students from European schools (e.g., CIIC, DELFT) to work in the US as UI/UX designers?

  • Answer:

    Your question actually should be: would Silicon Valley companies consider hiring IxD graduates from Europe.  And the answer to that is a resounding "Yes, absolutely".  I'm looking across my cubicle at one right now. HOWEVER, I will say that in Silicon Valley it's way more about what you know and what you can do than it is about where you graduated from.  So, if you do or don't get hired here, it won't have anything to do with where you went to school.  It will be based on your abilities and your portfolio.  :) Good luck!

Yes, I know of students from both Umeå Institute of Design and CIID who have been hired as interaction designers at companies in Silicon Valley. I also agree with Krys, that is more about your abilities and portfolio than it is about where you went to school.
