Senior UIUX Designer (Web & app) - Part-time - Worldwide

About the Role

We’re seeking a senior-level designer to lead design efforts across three distinct projects under the Paperclip group - each with its own identity, goals, and audience. The ideal candidate is highly versatile, comfortable moving between branding, web design, and UX/UI for applications. You’ll collaborate directly with founder, who leads these initiatives, to define visual direction, craft user experiences, and guide implementation.

This is a part-time (≈20 hours/week), fully remote contract engagement.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end design from concept to delivery across all three projects

• Design responsive web layouts and ensure consistent UX across devices
