UX Designer (Fractional, Remote)
Fractional
About the Role
We’re looking for a UX designer with strong visual design skills who can own end-to-end experiences—from early concepts through polished execution. This is a fractional, fully remote role in a startup environment.
The work spans product UX, marketing experiences, and game-adjacent digital spaces, and requires comfort operating in ambiguity, moving fast, and shaping solutions where requirements are still evolving.
This role is best suited for someone who is hungry, self-motivated, and hands-on, and who enjoys collaborating closely with a small, cross-functional team while taking real ownership of their work.
What You’ll Do
Own UX from concept to execution across product, marketing, and interactive/gaming experiences
Translate ambiguous problems into clear user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity designs
Design polished, modern visual interfaces with strong attention to hierarchy, clarity, and usability
Balance usability, aesthetics, and business goals—knowing when to refine and when to ship
Collaborate directly with founders, product, engineering, and marketing
Rapidly prototype, test, iterate, and deliver with fast turnaround
Establish, maintain, and evolve design systems and component libraries in Figma
Bring strong ideas to the table while staying open to feedback and direction
Give and receive direct feedback—fast, honest, and focused on outcomes
What “Experience” Means Here
You’ve shipped real products—not just concept decks
You make confident design decisions and can clearly explain the why
You’re comfortable working independently without constant oversight
You know when to go deep and when speed matters more than perfection
You view UX as both craft and problem-solving, not just screens
You’re willing to take ownership and follow work through to completion
Required
3+ years of experience in UX and visual/UI design
A portfolio that demonstrates:
Strong UX thinking (problem framing, flows, information architecture)
Excellent visual design (typography, layout, hierarchy, motion awareness)
High technical proficiency in Figma, including:
Components, variants, auto-layout, and design systems
Clean, production-ready files that engineers can actually use
Comfort working in early-stage or fast-moving environments with evolving requirements
Strong communication skills and the ability to work async in a fractional role
Self-directed and proactive, but able to take direction and incorporate feedback quickly
Curious and eager to learn from experienced UX leaders and continue improving your craft
Nice to Have
Experience in gaming, interactive media, or playful systems
Brand or marketing design experience beyond product UX
Motion design, interaction design, or advanced prototyping
Illustration, 3D, or art-adjacent skills
Experience helping shape or scale design systems
Engagement Details
Fractional role (hours flexible, outcome-driven)
Fully remote
Startup environment with real ownership, influence, and room to grow
Please include resume and portfolio as appropriate
