Brand & Digital Designer
Remote or Hybrid · Sydney (Contract)
We're looking for a designer to take an identity through to a live website.
About the role
- This is a contract role, remote or hybrid from our Sydney studio, and could become part time or full time for the right person. We are open to mid to senior levels of experience.
- This role sits across brand, UI and web. You'll shape identities, design the interfaces and websites they live on, and use AI build tools to get them live faster.
- Design at UntilNow is AI augmented and craft led. AI image, asset and build tools are a natural part of your workflow, not an add on.
- You'll work with our Creative leadership and product teams, and contribute strongly to the strategic thinking behind the work.
What you will do
The daily life of a Brand & Digital Designer at UntilNow looks something like this:
- Bring brand strategy to life as identity and expression: logos, type, colour, imagery and asset systems for our clients.
- Design marketing websites, landing pages and digital brand touchpoints with a sharp eye for UI, layout, interaction and motion.
- Build and ship sites yourself using Webflow, Framer and AI build tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable or v0, taking work from Figma to live without waiting on a developer for every change.
- Use AI image and asset generation tools (Midjourney, Firefly, ChatGPT, Sora and others) to accelerate concept exploration, moodboarding, asset variation and bespoke imagery.
- Bring the taste AI can't. Direct, edit and refine generated work until it's genuinely on brand, never generic.
- Create and extend UI kits and component libraries so brands hold up across web and product, working closely with our product designers and developers.
- Take ideas from first brainstorm through concept and visualisation to a system grounded in strategy and principles.
- At times, lead creative on projects, managing your own work and other designers' from beginning to end.
- Keep your finger on the pulse of design, web, AI tooling and culture, and bring that energy into the studio every day.
Your background
- 4+ years hands on experience as a brand, digital or web designer
- A portfolio showing brand identity work alongside websites and UI you've designed, and ideally built
- Strong UI craft: typography, layout, grids, responsive design, interaction states and motion
- Proficiency in Figma as your primary design tool
- Hands on experience building sites in Webflow or Framer
- A clear AI workflow you can walk us through, from image and asset generation to AI assisted building, and the taste to know when the output isn't good enough
- A good grasp of image rights, licensing and disclosure for AI generated assets in client work
- Extremely comfortable designing and building decks, and articulate and confident presenting work
- Efficient, detail oriented, organised and able to work to deadlines
- Strong creative instincts and a willingness to push further through experimentation
- Ambitious self starter who can thrive in ambiguity
Nice to haves
- Basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript, or experience shipping with a headless CMS (Payload, Sanity or similar)
- Motion design, illustration or 3D
- Experience building design systems and component libraries
- Studio or agency background working across a range of clients and categories
When you apply
Alongside your portfolio, send us one short example of a workflow you've changed with AI: what you did before, what you do now, and one time the AI got it wrong and how you caught it. A few paragraphs is plenty, and it tells us more than a polished cover letter.
Salary and Benefits
We're a small studio looking to work in a better way. Our home is The Commons in Sydney CBD, a lovely modern space with a huge range of facilities and amenities, including weekly events like yoga, free beer, tea, coffee and breakfasts, end of trip facilities and much more.
For our team we also offer the following:
- Remote or hybrid. Work fully remote, or join us at The Commons as often as suits you.
- Early or late starts. We know some people work better in the mornings and others in the afternoons, so you have the option of starting an hour earlier or an hour later and finishing up accordingly.
- $500 to spend per year on anything related to professional improvement such as courses, conferences, events, books and more.
- Access to our AI tooling stack including Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor.
- Team lunches every month at a variety of venues around Sydney CBD (open invitation when you're in town).
- Employee venture equity. Every full time employee at UntilNow receives equity in every venture we build. This equity proportion is scaled from a basic team level to an increased percentage if you are actively involved on the project.
