About The Position

We are looking for a UI/UX Designer with deep Figma expertise and a strong portfolio of shipped websites. You will own design end-to-end for client projects, from information architecture through high-fidelity prototypes and developer handoff. You will set the standard for how we work in Figma, push the quality of what we ship, and shape design experiences across a varied roster of practice partners. This is an individual contributor role for someone who agonizes over the details, can explain every decision they make, and wants the design output to be the reason a project lands.

Requirements

An exceptional portfolio of shipped websites and digital products that demonstrates strong UI craft, interaction design, design system thinking, and considered information architecture.
5-7 years of professional UI/UX design experience, ideally including some time in an agency or multi-client environment.
Expert-level Figma proficiency: prototyping, auto layout, variables, tokens, variants, components, and design system maintenance.
Strong visual design fundamentals: typography, hierarchy, color, composition, and contrast.
Strong information architecture, user flow, and mobile-first responsive design skills.
Demonstrated ability to design motion and micro-interactions, and communicate them clearly in prototypes or specs.
Working knowledge of WCAG accessibility standards and inclusive design principles.
Comfort working with ambiguity and turning broad briefs into strategic, considered design decisions.
Proven developer handoff practices and effective collaboration with front-end developers.
Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
Comfort sourcing and generating imagery with AI tools.
Self-directed and reliable in a fully remote environment.
Candidates must have current and valid authorization to work in the country where they are applying.

Nice To Haves

Local to Chicagoland area
Experience designing for medical aesthetics, healthcare, wellness, or other regulated industries.
Webflow experience or familiarity with low-code build environments.
Light user research or usability testing experience.
UX writing or content design experience.
Comfort presenting work to non-design stakeholders, including clinical and executive audiences.

Responsibilities

Own design for client websites from information architecture and user flows through wireframes, high-fidelity UI, and interactive prototypes.
Design mobile-first, responsive layouts that work across desktop, tablet, and mobile breakpoints.
Lead interaction design alongside visual design, treating both as core disciplines and shaping how a site feels in use, not just how it looks.
Reduce complex briefs to the right balance of clarity, simplicity, and depth.
Craft microcopy and content hierarchy as part of the design, partnering cross-functionally when copy is in scope.
Build Figma files to a professional standard: clear page structure, named layers, organized components, auto layout, variables, tokens, variants, and proper use of styles.
Build and maintain component libraries and design systems that scale across multiple client brands.
Apply visual design fundamentals (typography, hierarchy, color, composition, contrast) with intention and precision.
Craft clickable Figma prototypes that communicate flow, interaction, and motion clearly to clients and developers.
Define and document micro-interactions and motion behavior (hover states, transitions, scroll behaviors) so developers can implement without guesswork.
Tell the story of your work through clear, confident design walkthroughs for internal teams and clients, explaining decisions and trade-offs.
Give and solicit feedback in design reviews, raising the bar for the team's work and your own.
Iterate quickly based on client feedback, user input, and validation, treating design as a loop rather than a final deliverable.
Design to WCAG accessibility standards (color contrast, focus states, keyboard navigation, semantic structure) and apply inclusive design principles by default.
Produce clean developer specs for spacing, typography, component states, breakpoint behavior, and asset exports.
Partner with developers through implementation, reviewing builds and flagging anything that drifts from design intent.
Source and generate imagery using AI tools (Higgsfield, Nano Banana, or similar) when stock or client-supplied imagery is not available.
Adapt your visual approach across multiple client brand systems with sensitivity and consistency.
Stay current on design trends, tools, and standards, especially in AI-assisted design and web craft.
Bring new ideas, techniques, and references back to the team.
