NA ONLY | Contract-Based UI/UX Re-Design

Help Redesign the Pokémon Go of Food Discovery

Remote (North America Only) | Contract-Based | Apply by Sending Work, Not Words

TORO is a next-gen food discovery app where users don’t rate restaurants — they rate dishes. Think of it as your personal Pokédex of food. Instead of “5 stars for this sushi spot,” we ask: How was the tuna tartare?

We’re redesigning the app to feel less like social media and more like a game — fun, interactive, weird, and alive. Less Instagram scroll, more Animal Crossing + Apple’s Liquid Glass. We want every user interaction to feel like a collectible moment or an XP boost — not just a review.

What We’re Looking For

We want a North America-based designer with a track record of building playful, system-level UI/UX — someone who gets games, personality-driven experiences, and the joy of food.

Your mission: Redesign TORO to be:

  • More a food discovery game, not just a restaurant review app

  • A 3D, glassmorphic, micro-interaction-filled world

  • A playful experience where every dish is a new level, badge, or unlockable

  • As intuitive and delightful as it is strange and fun

We’re Inspired By:

  • The idea of a food Pokédex

  • Apple’s Liquid Glass aesthetic

  • Gamified UX and lush micro-interactions

  • Systems that let us build:

    • Taste profile matching ("palette DNA")

    • Signature dish identity badges

    • Food-based friend matchmaking

    • Reservation + delivery integrations

What You Must Do to Apply

DO NOT send a resume.

DO NOT send us AI-generated emails or designs — we’ll know, and we’ll delete them.

INSTEAD, show us:

We won't be able to reuse these exact designs — this is an old version — but your take on it is the #1 thing we’ll look at to see if your vision aligns with ours.

Compensation

We’re pre-revenue and gearing up for fundraising. No set budget, but we’re open to creative structures — including equity — for the right partner.

If this sounds like your kind of weird — show us, don’t tell us.
