You’ll work closely with our design and development teams to create high-quality, visually led websites and digital experiences for a range of ambitious brands.

• A strong portfolio of high-quality website and digital design work, demonstrating strong visual craft, art direction and attention to detail.
• Proven experience designing websites for Webflow, with a clear understanding of the platform and how designs translate into development.
• Strong proficiency in Figma, with experience across Adobe Creative Suite including Photoshop and Illustrator.
• Strong understanding of UX/UI, responsive design and modern web design principles.
• Experience collaborating closely with developers and other designers to bring digital experiences to life.
• Confident presenting your thinking, explaining design decisions and responding to client and internal feedback.
• Comfortable working independently across project-based work, changing deadlines and varying workloads.
• Strong communication and time management skills, particularly when working within a distributed team.

• Collaborate closely with Webflow developers to ensure designs are practical to build and implemented to a high standard.
• Present concepts and design thinking to clients, clearly articulate your rationale and refine work based on feedback.
• Consider motion, interaction and user experience as part of the overall design rather than treating pages as static layouts.
• Maintain a consistently high level of design craft across the projects you support.
• Work across projects based on client demand, timelines and available project work.
