Senior UI/UX Designer

You're the person making sure what camelCase ships looks and feels as good as it works. UI/UX design, design systems, and design QA across client projects, with room to grow into broader creative ownership as you learn the clients and the business.

How the Work Flows

Design requires deep work. A typical week is focused on one or two projects, not five context switches a day. You'd have long stretches to think, explore, and iterate on what matters most right now.

In the first few months, the rhythm would look something like:

• Most of your week is deep design work on the highest-priority engagement — research, wireframes, iteration, client feedback loops
• A handful of hours reserved for lightweight touchpoints: design QA, quick reviews, syncs with developers on what's feasible
• As you learn the clients and build trust, we figure out the cadence together

As the role matures:

• You're contributing to design scoping on new engagements
• You're building patterns and systems that keep things consistent across projects without requiring you on every detail
• You're helping us figure out when we need additional design help, contract or full-time

What You'd Own

UX/UI design & design systems:

• End-to-end design for client digital products — websites, newsletters, dashboards, product interfaces
• Design systems and component libraries in Figma
• Wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity mockups
• Design-to-dev handoff and documentation

UX research & competitive analysis:

• Understanding how users actually interact with our clients' products — not just how things look, but how they work
• Competitive audits of peer publications and digital products to inform design direction
• Spotting UX patterns and opportunities the rest of the team wouldn't catch

Design QA:

• Visual quality of everything camelCase ships
• Catching regressions, spacing issues, responsive breakpoints on implemented work
• Small cosmetic fixes via AI-assisted tooling when something shouldn't wait for a dev cycle

Client-facing design work:

• Presenting your design work to client stakeholders
• Translating client feedback into design decisions
• Grounding recommendations in research — "here's what competitors are doing, here's why we're going a different direction"

What You Wouldn't Own

• Front-end feature development (that's the dev team)
• Brand identity creation from scratch (specialists or future hires)
• Marketing campaign creative or ad assets (client-side or agencies)
• Content strategy or editorial direction (client editorial teams)
• Project scoping and client operations (product management)
