Job description

This multidisciplinary creative studio works across brand, digital, culture and technology, and they're looking for a Freelance Digital Designer with a strong focus on web design to bring strong creative thinking and craft to their digital output.

The Role

You’ll sit at the centre of the studio’s digital output, taking web projects from initial concept through to production-ready delivery. That means translating brand identities into digital experiences - layouts, wireframes, prototypes, polished UI across desktop and mobile - and treating interaction, motion and animation as core elements rather than finishing touches.

You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with creative directors, strategists and developers through refinement and production, and you’ll present and defend the thinking behind your work. This is design that engages with the underlying problem, not screens produced in isolation.

The Package

Rolling contract, Q4 booking

The Person

You’re a Freelance Digital Web Designer with a portfolio weighted toward high‑craft, responsive sites rather than app UI alone. Fluent in Figma, comfortable owning work from concept to polished production, and used to collaborating directly with developers in modern front‑end stacks.

You understand typography, layout and hierarchy at a high level, and you can articulate why a decision was made, not just that it was. Bonus consideration for strength in motion, interaction design, Webflow, 3D or generative work - all areas the studio is actively developing.
