At GSW, we’re not just pushing the envelope; we’re redefining it. We’re a powerhouse of creativity and technology, crafting groundbreaking design experiences that leave a lasting impact. If you’re a designer who is ready to disrupt the norm and shape the future of design, join our dynamic team.

We’re on the hunt for a Freelance Senior Experience Designer who can blend tech-savvy with artistic flair to create jaw-dropping experiences across print, digital, social, and emerging channels. This role can be fully remote.

Key Responsibilities:

• Craft Impactful Designs: Deliver designs that hit the mark for healthcare professionals and patient/consumer audiences.
• Innovate and Prototype: Dream up and build cutting-edge concepts, prototypes, and animations that bring ideas to life.
• Sell the Vision: Present your creative genius and sell the “big idea” to the team.
• Collaborate and Conquer: Work hand-in-hand with UX, developers, and copywriters to ensure flawless execution.
• Engage and Scale: Develop intuitive, scalable, and engaging interactions for web, mobile, VR/AR, and beyond.
• Design Mastery: Create stunning solutions for digital and print, leveraging brand hallmarks, identity development, typography, and design theory.
• Make Data Look Good and Make Sense. You’ll lead our agency’s efforts for turning data, insights, and research into clear, compelling visuals that help tell smart stories for our clients. Whether it’s transforming data for pitch decks, elevating client deliverables, or creating interactive reports, you’ll bring clarity to the chaos.

Qualifications:

• Experience: 4+ years of design and experience design.
• Tool Proficiency: Mastery of digital design tools like Adobe Software Suite, XD, Sketch, Figma, and animation programs (Principle, Spline, Lottie, FigJam).
• Presentation Skills: Strong ability to articulate and sell your design concepts.

Education:

• Bachelor's Degree in Design or Related Field – graphic design, visual communications, advertising design. We also consider candidates with degrees in fine arts or other creative disciplines, particularly if supplemented with relevant experience.

Why Join Us?

• Innovative Projects: Work on groundbreaking projects with a team of talented trailblazers.
• Growth Opportunities: Unlock your potential with professional growth and development.
• Collaborative Culture: Thrive in a collaborative and inclusive work environment.

The anticipated hourly rate for this position is $60 but may vary based on various factors such as the candidate’s qualifications, skills, competencies and proficiency for the role.

At GSW, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace. If your past experience doesn’t align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. At times, we will consider transferable skills from previous roles. We also encourage you to join our Talent Network to stay connected to additional career opportunities.

GSW is a full-service healthcare communications agency that goes beyond advertising to create personalized brand experiences that involve, inspire, educate and activate people through ongoing brand journeys. As one of the world’s ten most-awarded healthcare advertising agencies, GSW is hell-bent not to replace the same old with the same old. This is achieved through a provocative premise — if other brands communicated the way healthcare brands do, how many customers would they have? GSW turns against this premise through discovery of beneath-the-surface customer insights that we impact with stories, simplicity and authenticity.
