Senior Digital Designer (Lead/Director level)

Our client, a digital agency partner, is seeking a Senior Digital Designer (Lead or Director level) to join their team on a freelance/contract basis for immediate start. This is a highly visual, creative-forward role for a designer who operates at the intersection of digital brand, visual design, and product experience — someone with exceptional craft who can take early-stage concepts and UX prototypes and elevate them into distinctive, polished, and inspiring digital experiences. The work spans two high-profile projects across financial services, data and technology, and climate and sustainability. The right candidate is an originator, not just an executor — someone who develops their own ideas, pushes creative quality, and understands the UX thinking behind what they're designing.
This is a fully remote, freelance opportunity (Eastern or Central timezone preferred).
8 weeks to start with the potential to extend.
Pay Rate: $80-100/hour
Responsibilities:
Create highly polished website, web application, and digital product designs from early concepts, UX thinking, and prototypes.
Originate strong visual and creative ideas, exploring how digital experiences can feel distinctive, ownable, and inspiring across two very different brand contexts.
Translate high-level UX prototypes and future-facing concepts into compelling, high-fidelity design.
Help evolve established brand systems for digital, identifying opportunities to push visual expression while staying true to existing brand foundations.
Develop distinctive approaches to data visualization, information design, and digital storytelling.
Work confidently across both brand-led websites and complex, data-rich digital products.
Balance strong visual expression with usability, accessibility, and clear UX principles.
Collaborate closely with UX, strategy, content, and creative teams while independently driving design work forward.
Move quickly from exploration through execution, producing high-quality work within fast-paced design sprints.
Present work directly to clients, articulating creative thinking and rationale behind design decisions with clarity and confidence.
Shift comfortably between different projects, audiences, and visual systems while maintaining a consistently high standard of craft throughout.
Required Qualifications:
Senior-level digital designer with an exceptional portfolio demonstrating highly polished, digital-first work — Lead or Director level experience required.
Strong visual design and digital brand credentials, with excellent typography, composition, art direction, and attention to detail.
Expert-level Figma proficiency and confidence working with modern digital design and prototyping tools.
Strong understanding of UX and product design, with the ability to interpret wireframes, prototypes, user needs, and experience principles.
Proven ability to originate creative direction and develop ideas independently rather than relying on detailed briefs.
Experience working across both brand expression and complex data-driven or product-focused digital environments.
Comfortable presenting work to clients and senior stakeholders, with the ability to communicate design rationale clearly and persuasively.
Ability to work across multiple projects simultaneously, adapting quickly to different brand systems and audience contexts.
Background in financial services, data and technology, sustainability, or similarly complex subject matter is a plus.
Compensation and Benefits:
Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and 401(k) for freelancers
Direct deposit and commuter benefits
