Agency work is a team sport

Hi! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Xavier Armand and I am the co-founder of The Vaan Group: a fully remote UX design and engineering agency with headquarters in NYC. We’re looking to hire talented people to work on e-commerce projects.

What you should know about Vaan

Come work with us on brands like rhode, Jacob & Co, khy by Kylie Jenner, and HexClad.

Vaan, A Verndale Company, is a brand and commerce agency built for the DTC era. We partner with category-defining, digitally native brands to design, build, and optimize high-performing commerce experiences where brand, UX, and technology work as one. We’re a design and engineering studio, and that’s what truly sets us apart.

Our approach—Brand Conversion Design—blends world-class creative, rigorous UX thinking, and deep Shopify Plus expertise to transform storytelling into measurable growth at scale. As part of Verndale, we combine enterprise-grade thinking with the speed, taste, and performance mindset of a modern DTC growth partner.

We don’t just build e-commerce stores. We create commerce ecosystems engineered to give our clients a lasting competitive advantage. By aligning business, marketing, UX, creative, and technology requirements into a single cohesive experience, we design the foundation that allows brands to scale operations, accelerate marketing, and grow revenue.

The value of our work is measured by the moat our clients’ technology creates between them, their competition, and Amazon.

Our values:

- People do judge a book by it's cover. For that reason we can never compromise on how we present our work to our clients, communicate internally, and the final products we produce on behalf of our clients.

- Extreme Ownership. Agency work is a team sport and we only achieve what we can based on how much we can rely on each member of the team. Own your role.

- Michelin star level service. Our food will always be incredible and if we're off, we can always provide the best service. Things will go wrong. Unforeseen challenges will occur. How you deal with them and how we speak to our clients matters.
