We design brands and storefronts that convert. Our clients range from fast-moving startups to household-name DTC brands and Fortune 1000 companies. We care about clarity, speed, conversion, and taste. If you design pretty things that don't sell, this won't be fun for you. The Role We're looking for an E-commerce DTC UX/UI Brand Designer who can own projects end-to-end (from strategy to execution) and make smart, conversion-aware design decisions. You'll work across multiple DTC brands, collaborating closely with strategists and developers. You should be equally comfortable thinking about brand systems, UX flows, and high-performing UI. We also expect you to bring a point of view on how AI tools can speed up and improve the way design work gets done, this isn't a "nice to have," it's part of how we operate. What You'll Actually Do Own UX and UI design from concept to launch across multiple DTC eCommerce brands Design online stores and pages that are clear, easy to use, and drive sales Create wireframes, scalable UI systems, and high-fidelity mockups in Figma Turn brand ideas into consistent, easy-to-follow visual design systems Present work confidently and collaborate closely with PM, lead designer, and developers through handoff, QA, and launch Spot usability issues, improve the experience, and follow proven conversion best practices Balance fresh, innovative UI design with CRO best practices Develop and maintain brand identity guidelines across all touchpoints Identify and lead AI-driven initiatives that speed up design production or improve quality (e.g., AI-assisted ideation, image/asset generation, Figma AI plugins, QA/accessibility checks, research synthesis) Continuously look for ways to improve our design process — tools, systems, and workflows — not just the pixels This Is Probably NOT for You If... Your portfolio is mostly Dribbble shots or redesign concepts — no live sites You have never worked at an agency with multiple clients You have never designed or shipped a live Shopify store You avoid feedback or can't defend your design decisions You care more about trends than results You've never worked directly with developers You see AI tools as a threat to your craft rather than a way to work smarter This Is Probably GREAT for You If... You've shipped real Shopify/Shopify Plus stores and can point to the URLs with pride You like moving fast across multiple clients without losing quality You already use AI tools somewhere in your workflow and want to do more of that You'd rather defend a design decision with data than with vibes Our Process Portfolio review Portfolio walkthrough call Team/culture interview Offer

How to Apply When applying, please include: A portfolio containing 2 to 3 live Shopify or Shopify Plus stores you designed — URLs required.

A one- or two-sentence example of how you've used AI to speed up or improve a design deliverable or process (a plugin, a workflow, a QA step — anything real).
