This is a contract role with a clear scope:

Transform our product architecture into a beautiful, intuitive, cinematic interface ready for engineering.

You’ll work closely with the Founder/CEO, CTO, and a Head of Product to shape the visual identity, user flows, and interaction patterns for the platform.

• Ensure the prototype reflects the emotional tone of Ritual Ads — elevated, premium, intelligent.

Collaboration

• Work with the Product Architect to ensure the UX is aligned with technical constraints and workflow logic.
• Incorporate feedback from 3 design-partner groups (brand, agency, production company).
• Iterate quickly and precisely.

Handoff & Support

• Deliver a fully annotated design file for engineers.
• Support implementation by clarifying UX logic, states, and interactions.

What Success Looks Like

• A fully designed Ritual Gen-2 interface ready for engineering.
• Visual storytelling that reflects Ritual’s brand, intelligence, and premium quality.
• User flows that make complex AI workflows feel simple and intuitive.
• A clickable prototype that can secure LOIs and accelerate our Beta launch.

• Portfolio demonstrating polished, elevated design—this is mandatory

Bonus if you have experience with:
