Job description

• 2+ years of design experience, with a portfolio covering both ecommerce/web and presentation or brand work
• Strong in Figma: auto layout, components and organised files a developer can work from
• An editorial, elevated eye: considered typography, white space and restraint
• Understanding of how ecommerce sites work: product pages, navigation, conversion basics
• Able to take a strategy or messy notes and turn them into a clear visual story
• Strong written English and proactive, async communication
• Independent: this role exists so the founder can creative direct, not manage design day to day

You’ll be responsible for the design side of our client work and our own brand, working directly with the founder.

• Designing Shopify homepages, product pages, collection pages and landing pages in Figma, ready for development
• Turning strategy into beautiful documents: Blueprint strategy decks, client presentations and proposals
• Brand work for Aurella House and our clients: layouts, case studies, social assets and visual systems
• Designing with Shopify's sections and blocks in mind, so our developer can build it cleanly and clients can edit it themselves
• Working closely with our developer on handoff, responsive behaviour and QA
• Bringing your own ideas (layout, motion, imagery) rather than waiting to be told
• Flagging gaps or ambiguities in a brief early rather than guessing

Success looks like: designs are approved with few revision rounds, client documents look like they came from a premium firm, and the founder can step back from hands-on design.

• Experience designing for Shopify themes specifically
• Brand identity work for product businesses
• Basic motion or animation for web
• Experience designing strategy decks, reports or pitch documents
• Spanish and strong English speaker

• Approximately 20–40 hours per month, around 5–10 hours per week to start. Some weeks will be heavier depending on project phase.
• Fully remote, flexible hours. We care about output and communication, not when you’re online.
• Ongoing contract with room to grow as we take on more clients
• Paid in USD ($25–30) per hour, depending on experience)
