designer with a rich portfolio of past projects. You will work closely
with our DDT (Dope Development Team) and be the DLD (Dope

About Pips à la Carte

Pips à la Carte is a small independent company (under 20 folks) that was created to protect foreign exchange (forex) traders from slick, get-rich-quick Forex schemes, while finding fresh, witty ways to educate traders along the way. Forex traders, both new and experienced, have instant access to an assortment of online forex resources across our six web sites.

Our mission is to help people help themselves make money by trading money... while cracking as many corny jokes as possible along the way.

While forex trading may be considered a niche and not be seen as sexy as mainstream sites such as Facebook and Twitter, we think forex is sexy!

We’re profitable and growing rapidly. BabyPips.com is the most popular forex education site on the planet and our other web sites are also extremely well-known among forex traders.

Now we’re looking for a designer to make us look even sexier! (in a usable way of course)
