UI/UX & Graphic Designer (One Role)
At PAAQ, we connect people with real experts instantly. If you’re a designer who can move seamlessly from product UI to scroll-stopping visuals, this role was made for you.
What you’ll do
Own the end-to-end design craft across product and marketing:
Product & UX
- Lead UI/UX for the PAAQ App and PAAQ Event: research, user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, design systems, and handoff.
- Build interactive prototypes (bonus if you use ProtoPie or Jitter) to validate ideas and communicate motion states/micro-interactions.
- Create accessible, scalable components in Figma (auto-layout, variants, tokens), and maintain our design system.
- Collaborate with Product & Engineering to ship pixel-perfect features.
Brand & Visual
- Design all social media and advert posters (static, carousels, short motion), aligned to our brand system.
- Lead website design for landing pages and campaigns (Webflow or similar a plus).
- Design email campaigns (layouts, imagery, and responsive testing) for lifecycle and launch comms.
- Produce assets for app stores, ads, events, and partner kits.
Quality & Growth
- Champion accessibility (WCAG 2.1), usability testing, and data-informed iterations.
- Support A/B tests and creative experiments; track what works and scale it.
What you’ve done
- 4+ years in UI/UX and graphic design with a portfolio of shipped product work and marketing creative.
- Expert in Figma; strong in Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop/Illustrator; After Effects or motion tools a plus).
- Comfortable with interactive prototyping (ideally ProtoPie and/or Jitter; Framer/Proto.io/Justinmind also welcome).
- Proven experience designing social/advert posters, websites, and email campaigns end-to-end.
- Workflows for clean handoff (components, specs) and tight cross-functional collaboration.
Nice-to-haves (big plus)
- Motion design for micro-interactions and short-form content.
- Email tooling (Mailchimp/Klaviyo) and responsive HTML/MJML familiarity.
- Webflow/WordPress page building.
- AI-fluency in design workflows (e.g., concepting, image generation, content variations, asset cleanup).
How you work
- You’re user-obsessed, systems-minded, and fast without sacrificing craft.
- You translate ambiguity into clear journeys and beautiful interfaces.
- You love shipping, then learning and iterating.
Location & setup
