Lead Web Designer/Art Director

Knak Digital

Job Description

Benefits:

Insurance (Health, Dental), 401K with match and profit-sharing, Disability/life insurance, casual environment, 4 weeks PTO, flex schedule, professional development budget

As a Lead Digital Designer, you'll help shape that research into actual concepts, working alongside strategists on client insights and turning them into interfaces people want to use. This isn't a production-only seat. You'll be in strategy conversations from the start.

What you'll do:

Design responsive websites and digital experiences grounded in audience research
Build and evolve visual brand systems, including logo and identity work
Present concepts directly to clients and defend your design decisions
Mentor junior designers as the team grows
Collaborate with writers and strategists on creative concepts, including new business pitches

What you bring:

7+ years in UX/web design, less if the portfolio proves you can do the job
A portfolio with a range of styles, not one look repeated
Experience mentoring other designers
Comfort designing for mobile and responsive web
Experience building brand systems, not just working inside someone else's
A second strength beyond web design, illustration, typography, motion, or front-end code

Open to remote, based in the US.
