Senior Visual Designer

Senior Visual Designer

Our client, a creative agency known for bold, boundary-pushing design work, is seeking a Senior Visual Designer for a freelance/contract opportunity. This role calls for a designer who thrives on big, unexpected ideas and has the craft and execution skills to bring them to life — someone equally comfortable as a strategic thinker and a hands-on doer. The ideal candidate challenges briefs rather than simply answering them, brings strong storytelling instincts to both concept and design, and understands how interaction and motion principles inform great visual work.

This is an ongoing freelance assignment. Pay rate range: $70-$90 / hour

Responsibilities:

• Lead ideation and execution across typography, layout, color, and composition with a high level of craft and polish
• Push design thinking beyond the initial ask, introducing bold and unexpected creative directions
• Translate big-picture concepts into fully realized, well-executed design work
• Challenge creative briefs when appropriate to elevate the final output
• Apply interaction and motion principles to design execution, not just visual layout
• Explore multiple creative directions before narrowing in on a final approach
• Stay attuned to emerging design trends without being driven by them
• Engage in self-directed creative exploration with minimal oversight
• Apply foundational UX principles and systems thinking to design decisions
• Build prototypes as needed to test interactions and refine the user experience
• Collaborate cross-functionally with other departments to elevate the overall creative product
• Challenge and inspire fellow team members to think beyond conventional solutions
• Build presentation decks with a clear, compelling narrative that balances design depth with persuasive storytelling
• Present work directly to clients, remaining open to feedback and collaborative refinement

Required Qualifications:

• Strong visual design craft, including typography, layout, color, and composition
• Demonstrated ability to generate bold, original creative concepts beyond expected solutions
• Strong conceptual and visual storytelling skills
• Solid understanding of interaction and motion design principles and how to apply them to execution
• Working knowledge of UX fundamentals and systems-level design thinking
• Comfort with prototyping to test and refine interactions
• Proven ability to work independently and drive self-directed creative exploration
• Strong presentation skills, with the ability to build and deliver decks that balance design rationale with big-picture storytelling
• Experience presenting directly to clients and incorporating feedback collaboratively
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills
