The designer will work with the founder and project leads to turn client briefs into intentional visual systems for startup and enterprise clients.

Responsibilities

  • Lead visual design from concept through final delivery for Webflow sites, product UI and brand identities.
  • Use tools such as Midjourney, Figma AI, ChatGPT and Claude for ideation and iteration; art-direct, curate and refine AI-assisted output, hand-crafting work when needed.
  • Build and maintain design systems across client engagements. Collaborate in a desktop-first workflow with deliberate mobile adaptation, explain design decisions and challenge ideas when the work needs improvement.
  • Stay current with visual design and AI-tooling trends.

Requirements

  • At least 1 year of professional visual or product design experience; the job information lists 1–3 years of work experience.
  • A portfolio demonstrating strong visual judgment and range across brand, web and product design.
  • Experience using AI-native tools in a production workflow, beyond prompting alone. Strong command of Figma and the Adobe Suite, including Illustrator and Photoshop; the posting also emphasizes willingness to learn.
  • Ability to defend design decisions with reasoning, communicate clearly with clients and teammates, and give and receive direct feedback.

Preferred

Agency experience, particularly with enterprise or high-growth startup clients, and experience in motion or interaction design.

01

Understand the role

What matters most

  • Own visual design through delivery

    The role leads visual work from concept to final delivery across Webflow websites, product interfaces, and brand identities. Prepare examples that show decisions and finished outcomes across those formats.

  • Apply taste to AI-assisted work

    The posting emphasizes using AI for ideation and iteration without shipping generic results. Show how you art-direct, select, reject, refine, or hand-craft output rather than relying on prompts alone.

  • Create intentional visual systems

    The designer translates client briefs into visual systems and builds and maintains design systems across engagements. Be ready to explain how design choices stay coherent across screens and assets.

  • Communicate and defend decisions

    The role works with the founder and project leads, explains choices to clients and teammates, and calls for direct feedback and constructive pushback. Prepare clear, jargon-free reasoning behind design decisions.

Likely challenges to think through

  • Speed without sameness

    A likely tension is using AI to explore quickly while preserving a distinct point of view. Prepare one example that traces an AI-assisted direction from exploration through curation and substantial refinement.

  • Consistency without templating

    Maintaining systems across varied client work may require balancing repeatable design decisions with each brief’s identity. Prepare to discuss what you would standardize within a project and what you would tailor.

  • Desktop-first, mobile-considered

    A desktop-first workflow can make mobile adaptation more than a simple resize. Prepare an example of how you would reconsider hierarchy, layout, and interaction for a smaller screen.

  • Pushback that improves the work

    Challenging a client or teammate’s idea while maintaining collaboration may be difficult. Prepare an example of stating the design concern, explaining its effect, and offering a stronger alternative.

03

Practice your answers

Technical practice

How would you turn a client brief into a visual direction?

What to coverThe role involves translating client briefs into intentional visual systems. Suggested practice: explain how you would identify the brief’s priorities, explore distinct directions, and justify a choice using visual reasoning rather than preference alone.

How would you evaluate AI-generated visual directions?

What to coverThe posting emphasizes choosing which AI-assisted ideas to keep, reject, or refine without producing generic work. Suggested practice: discuss criteria such as fit with the brief, distinctiveness, coherence, and what you would hand-craft.

Where would AI tools fit in a production design workflow?

What to coverThe role names Midjourney, Figma AI, ChatGPT, and Claude for ideation and iteration, while expecting more than prompting alone. Suggested practice: walk through where a tool might help, how you would art-direct its output, and where manual design judgment takes over.

How would you carry a Webflow website design from concept to final delivery?

What to coverThe designer is expected to lead visual design for Webflow sites through delivery. Suggested practice: describe how you would maintain a coherent visual direction across pages and check the finished design against the approved concept.

How would you create visual consistency across a product interface?

What to coverProduct UI is one of the role’s core design areas. Suggested practice: discuss hierarchy, typography, components, and interaction states, including how you would balance consistency with the needs of a particular screen.

How would you develop a brand identity that carries into web and product work?

What to coverThe posting calls for range across brand, web, and product design. Suggested practice: explain how you would define a distinctive visual language and adapt it across those formats without making every application identical.

How would you build and maintain design systems across client engagements?

What to coverBuilding and maintaining scalable design systems is a stated responsibility. Suggested practice: cover reusable foundations and components, how you would keep each client’s identity distinct, and when an exception should become part of a system.

How would you adapt a desktop-first design for mobile?

What to coverThe team describes a desktop-first workflow with deliberate mobile adaptation passes. Suggested practice: explain what you would reconsider in hierarchy, layout, and interaction instead of simply shrinking the desktop design.

How would you use Figma, Illustrator, and Photoshop together?

What to coverThe posting names Figma and the Adobe Suite, including Illustrator and Photoshop. Suggested practice: describe appropriate uses for each in visual design and how you would keep assets and revisions coherent across tools.

How would you decide whether a new visual or AI-tooling trend is worth adopting?

What to coverThe role calls for staying current without chasing every new plugin. Suggested practice: explain how you would weigh a trend’s value to the brief and finished work against the effort of adding it to your workflow.

Behavioural practice

Tell me about a time you challenged a design direction.

What to coverThe role expects the designer to push back when an idea needs improvement, including a client’s idea. Suggested practice: use a real situation, the reasoning and actions you took, and the result; show how you kept the discussion constructive.

Tell me about a time direct feedback changed your design.

What to coverGiving and receiving direct feedback is part of the stated role. Suggested practice: describe the situation, how you evaluated and acted on the feedback, and what changed in the result.

Tell me about a time you explained a visual decision without jargon.

What to coverThe posting calls for clear explanations to clients and teammates. Suggested practice: give a real example of the audience and decision, how you framed your reasoning, and the outcome.

Tell me about a time you collaborated to turn a brief into a finished design.

What to coverThis designer works with the founder and project leads to translate client briefs into visual systems. Suggested practice: describe a real situation, your contribution and coordination with others, and the final result without claiming sole ownership of shared work.

Tell me about a time you learned a new design tool without letting it dictate the work.

What to coverThe role values learning and staying current with AI tooling while maintaining visual judgment. Suggested practice: describe the situation, how you assessed and applied the tool, and what the result showed about its usefulness or limits.

Sharpen your knowledge

Topics to prepare

  • Visual judgment and art direction

    The posting prioritizes taste and the ability to reject generic AI output. Exercise: compare ten visual directions for one brief, choose two, and explain what makes them distinctive and appropriate.

  • Brand, web, and product coherence

    The role spans brand identities, Webflow sites, and product interfaces. Exercise: outline how one visual concept would carry across all three without making every surface look identical.

  • Scalable design systems

    The designer will build and maintain systems across client engagements. Exercise: define a small set of visual rules and explain which decisions should remain consistent and which should change for a different client.

  • Design rationale and direct feedback

    The posting calls for clear explanations to clients and teammates, reasoned pushback, and direct feedback. Exercise: rehearse a two-minute explanation of a design choice, then a constructive response to a client request that weakens it.

  • Desktop-first, deliberate mobile adaptation

    The team describes a desktop-first workflow with considered mobile passes. Exercise: identify which hierarchy and layout decisions should survive a mobile adaptation and which need reconsideration.

Skills to revise

  • Curating AI-assisted design output

    Production use of Midjourney, Figma AI, ChatGPT or Claude is explicit; prompting alone is insufficient. Exercise: generate alternatives for a sample brief, document what you kept or rejected, and refine one direction by hand.

  • Building in Figma

    The posting requests strong command of Figma and work on product UI and design systems. Exercise: create a small interface with reusable components, then adapt its layout from desktop to mobile.

  • Refining assets in Illustrator and Photoshop

    Both applications are named in the Adobe Suite requirement. Exercise: develop a brand graphic in Illustrator, refine a supporting image in Photoshop, and explain how each serves the visual direction.

  • Presenting a cross-medium design project

    The requested portfolio spans brand, web, and product work. Exercise: practice walking through relevant examples from concept to final design, naming your decisions and refinements. This is interview preparation, not a requirement to create a new project.

04

Your preparation checklist

  • Curate a portfolio opening

    Prepare a quick introduction to work across brand identity, websites, and product UI. The posting asks for range and says visual judgment should be apparent immediately.

  • Build a project walkthrough

    Choose a project you can explain from brief through final delivery. Show your visual decisions, what changed after feedback, and how you communicated those choices.

  • Show an AI-assisted production process

    Prepare examples of directions you explored with tools such as Midjourney, Figma AI, ChatGPT, or Claude. Explain what you kept, rejected, refined, or made by hand—and why the result is not generic.

  • Prepare a visual-system exercise

    Practice turning a sample client brief into a desktop-first website or product direction, then show a considered mobile adaptation. Include a small set of reusable design-system decisions.

  • Gather evidence of tool and collaboration skills

    Select work that shows how you use Figma, Illustrator, or Photoshop. Prepare a concise example of defending a design decision, respectfully pushing back, or responding to direct feedback.

  • Write questions for the team

    Ask the founder or project leads how briefs become visual systems, how designers collaborate on mobile adaptation, and how they judge whether AI-assisted work meets their visual standard.
