UI/UX Visual Designer for web3 Cult

Hi! We are Forgotten Runes and we’re creating the next great fantasy franchise. We’re building a decentralized Lord of the Rings and we’re working on art, Lore, an MMORPG, and even a TV Show - all anchored in web3. We’re one of the top projects in web3 and we’ve earned millions of dollars in revenue.

We’re looking for a web & visual designer who wants to help us build the brand as we try to bootstrap a global franchise from scratch.

As our first UI/UX Designer, you're setting the foundation of our user experience. Your designs will be the bridge between our projects and our users, ensuring that every interaction with our world is intuitive, engaging, and magical. You'll be pivotal in bringing the Forgotten Runes universe to life by crafting the visual and interactive elements that will define us.

We’re a small team of about 10. We have artists on staff, but none of us are “designers”. Your work will be hands-on and a mixture of UI/UX with Graphic Design.

Some of the projects we have ahead of us are:

A UGC Lore-writing platform
Inventing new AI tools for world-building
Tools for everyday individuals to license IP to bigger brands
High-polish pages for collectors to show off their collections
Videogame(s)
etc.

Responsibilities:

Lead and implement the Forgotten Runes brand design guidelines (brand identity, visual storytelling, typography, etc.)
Work on new products & pages from conception, UX, to UI design (surfacing user requirements, crafting wireframes, working with engineering)
Work on important landing pages, investor presentations/decks, graphics for blogs, newsletters, and social efforts

Requirements:

Prior experience in Web/UX/Visual design
A portfolio that speaks to your experience
Good with Figma and other industry tools like Adobe Creative suite etc.
Motion graphics and modern web tools like Framer a plus
Ability to ideate, conceptualize, and sketch your design proposals - and take the concept to production-ready
An exceptional eye for design with a good pulse on current trends
You take pride in your work

Apply if you are:

Self-driven and feel comfortable taking initiative and figuring out requirements in a small team
Comfortable flying solo: you’ll be our first designer which means responsibility lies directly on you
You have strong communication skills and don’t mind working remotely
Agile and adaptable and comfortable with frequent changes
You’re detail oriented and can visualize both how applications work as well as look
Able to juggle design, web, and branding and iterate across several design projects

We like comics, Dungeons and Dragons, Final Fantasy, and NFTs. We’re ambitious and want to win. We love working with each other and bringing magic to our community every day.
