SUMMARY 

We are seeking an experienced Web & UX designer to join an established branding & design agency that specializes in food & recipe websites.

You must be an expert in Adobe XD & Figma and consider yourself both a right & left brain thinker; someone who loves the technical aspects of creating component libraries while also having a knack for branding & design. As the UX designer, you will work with the owner/Creative Director to spearhead strategy documents, create wireframes, and handle client revisions.

While this role doesn't require logo & branding design skills, it is an added bonus and would be compensated accordingly for the right candidate. Additionally, you will not be coding/developing mocks, as this will be handled by my developer but you should have experience and interest in collaborating with the developer to make the end product pixel-perfect. 

This position is a fully remote, Independent Contractor position with 20-40 hours/week for the right fit. Projects will be paid on an agreed project fee (not hourly). You must be willing to sign IC agreement form, which includes a non-disclosure. For the right fit, there is an opportunity for this to turn into a full-time, salaried role.
