About Brandmerk
Brandmerk is a creative and marketing agency working with clients in the Netherlands, the UAE, and international markets.
We develop brands, websites, and digital experiences that help businesses stand out, communicate their identity, and generate measurable results.
We are looking for a highly creative, experienced Senior UX/UI Designer who can combine exceptional visual design with strategic UX thinking, user behavior, and conversion optimization.
We are not looking for someone who simply creates beautiful layouts or follows standard website templates.
We want a designer who understands why a design works, challenges conventional approaches, and creates digital experiences that make a lasting impression.
Someone who can think independently, collaborate with our Art Director, and bring fresh ideas to the table.
What you will do
Creative Web Design & Visual Experiences
- Create distinctive, high-quality website designs that reflect each client's unique brand identity.
- Develop original visual concepts rather than relying on generic layouts or repetitive templates.
- Explore creative typography, layouts, visual storytelling, animations, and modern design techniques.
- Deliver visually impressive websites with a genuine wow-factor when the project and budget allow.
- Adapt your creative approach to different industries, audiences, and commercial objectives.
UX Strategy & Conversion Optimization
- Understand the client's business, target audience, customer journey, and competitive landscape.
- Design logical, engaging user journeys that guide visitors toward meaningful actions.
- Think critically about navigation, information architecture, page hierarchy, and content placement.
- Apply conversion-focused design principles to increase engagement, reduce friction, and improve conversion rates.
- Understand how visual hierarchy, trust signals, calls to action, and user behavior influence business results.
- Explain and justify design decisions based on user needs and commercial objectives.
Interaction Design & Digital Innovation
- Conceptualize meaningful animations, hover effects, micro-interactions, and scroll-based experiences.
- Think beyond static screens and consider how users experience and interact with every element.
- Develop interactive Figma prototypes that demonstrate behavior, transitions, and user flows.
- Explore emerging digital design trends, technologies, and interaction patterns.
- Balance creative innovation with usability, accessibility, responsive behavior, and website performance.
- Work closely with developers to ensure creative concepts are technically feasible.
Creative Collaboration & Ownership
- Collaborate closely with our Art Director to develop and refine creative concepts.
- Independently propose creative directions when appropriate.
- Actively participate in brainstorming sessions and strategic discussions with management.
- Challenge ideas constructively and contribute your own professional perspective.
- Take ownership of your research, UX structure, concepts, and final designs.
- Present your work clearly and explain the reasoning behind important design decisions.
- Communicate proactively, implement feedback professionally, and meet agreed deadlines.
What we expect from you

- At least 6 years of professional experience in UX/UI design, with a strong focus on websites.
- An outstanding portfolio demonstrating original, visually distinctive, and conversion-oriented websites.

Nice to have

Our approach to AI
We welcome the use of AI for research, inspiration, brainstorming, and productivity.
However, AI-generated website layouts are not a substitute for original design thinking.
We expect you to create your own concepts, make deliberate design decisions, and demonstrate genuine creative expertise.
Your creativity, judgment, and design skills should drive the work, not an AI design generator.
The type of designer we are looking for
- You are not satisfied with delivering another ordinary website.
- You are curious about what makes people interact, engage, trust, and convert.
- You regularly explore inspiring websites, innovative interfaces, and emerging design trends.
- You understand that a visually impressive website is only successful when it also serves its audience and business objectives.
- You can turn a client brief into an original concept, explain your thinking, and discuss alternatives with confidence.
Most importantly, you are someone we can brainstorm with, not someone we constantly need to tell what to design.
What we offer
- Long-term freelance collaboration with an international creative agency.
- Opportunities to work on diverse projects across different industries.
- Creative freedom within clear project objectives and budgets.
- Direct collaboration with our Art Director and management.
- Opportunities to contribute to both internal Brandmerk initiatives and external client projects.
- A remote working environment that values ownership, initiative, and results.
