Senior Visual Designer

Our client, a creative agency known for bold, boundary-pushing design work, is seeking a Senior Visual Designer for a freelance/contract opportunity. This role calls for a designer who thrives on big, unexpected ideas and has the craft and execution skills to bring them to life — someone equally comfortable as a strategic thinker and a hands-on doer. The ideal candidate challenges briefs rather than simply answering them, brings strong storytelling instincts to both concept and design, and understands how interaction and motion principles inform great visual work.

• This is an ongoing freelance assignment. Pay rate range: $70-$90 / hour

Responsibilities:

• Lead ideation and execution across typography, layout, color, and composition with a high level of craft and polish
• Push design thinking beyond the initial ask, introducing bold and unexpected creative directions
• Translate big-picture concepts into fully realized, well-executed design work
• Challenge creative briefs when appropriate to elevate the final output
• Apply interaction and motion principles to design execution, not just visual layout
• Explore multiple creative directions before narrowing in on a final approach
• Stay attuned to emerging design trends without being driven by them
• Engage in self-directed creative exploration with minimal oversight
• Apply foundational UX principles and systems thinking to design decisions
• Build prototypes as needed to test interactions and refine the user experience
• Collaborate cross-functionally with other departments to elevate the overall creative product
• Challenge and inspire fellow team members to think beyond conventional solutions
• Build presentation decks with a clear, compelling narrative that balances design depth with persuasive storytelling
• Present work directly to clients, remaining open to feedback and collaborative refinement

Required Qualifications:

• Strong visual design craft, including typography, layout, color, and composition
• Demonstrated ability to generate bold, original creative concepts beyond expected solutions
• Strong conceptual and visual storytelling skills
• Solid understanding of interaction and motion design principles and how to apply them to execution
• Working knowledge of UX fundamentals and systems-level design thinking
• Comfort with prototyping to test and refine interactions
• Proven ability to work independently and drive self-directed creative exploration
• Strong presentation skills, with the ability to build and deliver decks that balance design rationale with big-picture storytelling
• Experience presenting directly to clients and incorporating feedback collaboratively
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills
