Web Designer (UI/UX) - Creative Director
Our ideal Web Designer (UI/UX) - Creative Director will lead the strategy and execution of website projects, including e-commerce sites, marketing websites, and platform designs, with a strong focus on creative direction and project management. You will ensure that all design projects meet established standards and guidelines while coordinating efforts across multidisciplinary teams. This role involves managing the entire lifecycle of web projects, from inception to deployment, with a keen eye for detail, exceptional organization, and effective communication.

Designity is a subscription-based creative platform that enables seamless more efficient collaboration between creatives and businesses through a unique and innovative model. Our unique approach has attracted companies of all sizes, including Calendly, Kung Fu Tea, and Marriott Hotels, who choose Designity for their design and marketing needs over traditional, more expensive, and less efficient alternatives.
We’re revolutionizing the creative industry by introducing more thoughtful, effective, modern design and marketing methods. Companies traditionally hire in-house creatives, which is costly, time-consuming, skill-limiting, and requires substantial supervision. Working with traditional design and marketing agencies offers an alternative but at a high cost. Marketplaces like Upwork and Fiverr claim to offer a more affordable solution, but their model lacks reliability and optimization for creative practices, bringing frustration for businesses.
While we maintain a fast-paced startup environment, we’re also in full scale-up mode. If you’re seeking clear career growth, fully remote work, flexible hours, diverse project opportunities, and a chance to build quality content for your portfolio, Designity is the place to learn, develop, and grow into the creative thought leader you aspire to be.
