Content Designer

About Us

Palmstreet.app is the #1 live shopping platform for rare plants, handmade crafts, & unique goods. Founded in 2020 by Instagram and Apple veterans, Palmstreet began as a plant identification app and quickly evolved into a trailblazer in live shopping, beginning with plant sellers. Fueled by a passionate, plant-loving community, we rapidly expanded into new categories to better serve our fast-growing audience.

Our vision is to become the “World’s Online Main Street,” bringing the charm of in-person shopping to engaging, social online experiences. Backed by top Silicon Valley VCs and powered by a nimble, empathetic team, we’ve grown our GMV by 500x in the last 18 months.

As we continue shaping the future of social commerce, we’re looking for talented individuals who are excited to grow with us and join our mission.

6. Actively participate in design critiques and feedback sessions, offering and receiving constructive input to elevate the team’s work.
