We’re looking for an experienced designer to take our ideas and create beautiful UI and animation assets for use in our app. The concept is modern, a bit cutesy, and very unique. We feel it’d be a fun project for any passionate creative and there’s a large possibility of long term work if we gel well!

  • Adobe XD (or similar, Figma etc)
  • Adobe Illustrator (or similar)
  • Airbnb Lottie (bonus)
  • A portfolio demonstrating ‘cute’ animation, UI design, etc
  • The app has an ocean and animal theme, so any previous experience related to the ocean/water or animals would be a bonus
  • Any experience learning new languages is a bonus!


The role:

  • Creating UI/UX mockups for our developers to work from (Adobe XD)
  • Creating beautiful animations for our app (After Effects + Lottie)
  • Creating logos and other design assets (Illustrator)


The perks:

  • Initially part-time freelance, with the potential to go full time next year
