Founding Designer

Own how DansUGC and every consumer app we launch looks and feels.

DesignLisbon or remote$30/hour trial → $30k–$60k/yrNo CV

DansUGC is a marketplace, a customer dashboard, a creator portal, an admin suite, and a rotating portfolio of consumer apps. Right now one person designs all of it. You'd own the whole visual system — and the taste bar that goes with it.

What you'll do

  • Own the design system end to end: dansugc.com, the dashboard, the creator portal, and every consumer app we launch.
  • Design and ship real screens — Figma to production, working in the codebase when that's the faster path.
  • Set the motion and interaction bar: the details nobody notices until they're missing.
  • Art-direct the surfaces that sell — landing pages, App Store screenshots, ad creative, brand.

What we're looking for

  • A portfolio where at least one thing is genuinely beautiful, and you can explain exactly why it works.
  • Fluent in Figma, comfortable enough in the browser to push your own CSS.
  • Opinions about type, spacing and motion — ones you'll defend, and ones you'll change.
  • Speed. Three iterations by Thursday beats one perfect screen next month.
