About the role

We are looking for a Senior Web Designer with a strong creative vision, excellent visual design skills, and a portfolio that demonstrates expertise in art direction, typography, layout, and motion.
This role is ideal for someone who can create visually engaging and interactive web experiences that go beyond standard corporate designs and templates. The selected candidate should be comfortable working independently, moving quickly, collaborating with developers, and taking ownership of design projects from concept to execution.
What You'll Do:

Conceptualize and design high-impact web pages, campaign experiences, and digital assets with a clear creative direction.

Develop distinctive visual concepts through strong art direction, typography, layout, and composition.

Create engaging motion and interactive elements, either by producing them directly or providing clear direction to developers.

Develop wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity web designs using Figma.

Collaborate with developers to ensure designs are translated into polished, responsive, and accessible websites.

Maintain and improve the brand's web components and visual style across different projects.

Work on a variety of projects, from immersive and interactive web experiences to simpler website redesigns and page updates.

Communicate design ideas clearly, manage priorities, and deliver high-quality work within project timelines.

Requirements:

A personal portfolio website showcasing advanced web design skills. This is mandatory and will be the primary basis for evaluation.

Strong creative vision and a distinctive design style that feels modern, expressive, and visually engaging rather than overly corporate.

Proven experience designing immersive, interactive, or visually rich web experiences.

Strong skills in art direction, typography, layout, and visual storytelling.

Experience with motion design or a solid understanding of motion and interaction in web design.

Advanced proficiency in Figma, including wireframing, prototyping, and high-fidelity design.

Good understanding of how web designs are developed into responsive and accessible live websites.

Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and deliver quality work in a fast-paced environment.

Strong communication and collaboration skills, particularly when working with developers and brand teams.

Availability to collaborate during Pacific Time (PT) business hours. Candidates based in the Pacific Time zone are strongly preferred.

Nice to Haves:

Experience working with technology, SaaS, AI, or brand-focused companies.

Previous experience in a creative agency or design studio.

Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud.

Experience with 3D design, WebGL, or other interactive web technologies.

Familiarity with Framer, Webflow, After Effects, or other prototyping and motion design tools.

Experience using AI-assisted design tools.

Freelance opportunity supporting ongoing web design projects.

Weekly working hours and engagement duration will be discussed during the selection process.

Work involves a mix of highly creative web experiences, campaign pages, and simpler website redesigns.

Candidates should be comfortable working with a small, fast-moving in-house brand team.

Pacific Time availability is preferred, with candidates based in the Pacific region strongly prioritized.

Application Requirements:

Submit your proposal through Upwork.

Include a link to your personal portfolio website.

Answer the required screening questions and provide relevant details about your web design experience.

Important: A personal portfolio website is mandatory. The portfolio will be the primary basis for evaluating candidates' creative style, visual design skills, art direction, typography, and motion capabilities. Proposals without a personal portfolio website will not be considered.
