UI Designer

Job description Radish Lab is a purpose-driven creative agency, shaping stories and sharpening brands for organizations improving the world. Right now we’re working with organizations developing innovative approaches to extreme poverty, creating a better world for refugees, and fighting climate change. We specialize in web design, strategy, and branding. We are looking for a Digital/UI Designer with a minimum of six years of professional experience, and an excellent eye for design, detail, and user experience, to partner with us on an upcoming project—with potential for future collaboration if it's a good fit. About You You are passionate about helping to create a just and equitable world. You’re comfortable working within an iterative and collaborative process. You have an intentional, holistic, and systems-thinking approach to your work. You’re equally energized creating and crafting narratives around design concepts as well as providing the polishing details to design going out the door. You’ve got ideas, you find inspiration around you, and you’ve got your finger on the pulse of what’s awesome in design right now. You're comfortable working as an embedded collaborator on a small agency team. Plus, you’ve got a sense of humor. What You’ll Do For this engagement, you'll be designing a website for a nonprofit client under the management of our Design Director with feedback and support from our Creative Director. Working from an approved creative direction (a Figma file establishing typography, color, and design language) and wireframes, you'll develop a polished, production-ready UI in Figma—translating strategic intent into visual design with careful attention to responsive behavior, accessibility, and developer handoff. Future projects may be available depending on fit and capacity. They might include similar web work, branding, or campaign design. Terms This is a contract position. Projects are scoped as flat-fee engagements based on internal estimates benchmarked against past projects—we target a rate equivalent of $70–90/hour. Scope changes are communicated and agreed upon before additional work begins. Location Radish Lab is a remote agency. For this position, you must be within 3 hours of the EST timezone. At least six of your working hours must be within the hours of 7AM and 8PM EST. We do not offer sponsorship at this time. About Radish Radish Lab launched in 2012 to work on projects we believe in, with clients we click with. And today, we’re still invested in much more than just the end-product. We care about the people we work with and about the people our work impacts. Using collaboration, compassion, and creativity to solve problems at any scale, we deliver work that blends usability, aesthetics, and ethics. In our approach to working with clients we are committed to working: With empathy, not ego. With them, not for them. With integrity, not just ideas. Our Values Radish Lab has five core values and we expect you to share them. EMPATHY helps us better understand what a project’s goals might really be, why a client’s work is so vital to the people they serve, and why a coworker might be having a bad day. CURIOSITY enables us to ask better questions, keeps us humble, and nurtures an adventurous spirit. KINDNESS sounds easy, like holding the door open for someone, but we try to hold ourselves to a higher bar. If you hold the door open for someone then support a system that oppresses them, is that truly kind? DIVERSITY . Asking who isn’t at the table is vital. Our work is better when we have a diverse team, client contacts, and stakeholders. CAMARADERIE . Having genuinely good working relationships with our colleagues makes our days more enjoyable, and makes our work better. Selected Clients The New York Community Trust, Women’s Refugee Commission, (RED) - The Global Fund to Fight Aids, American Cancer Society, UNICEF, and BRAC.
