Designer (Brand and Web)

The best direction is usually the third one. Bring the one that survived.

UpSunday designs brands and builds websites, software and motion for businesses ready to grow. We make identities people know at a glance and remember long after. Our designers start from strategy, defend a direction in writing, and finish with a system a client can run without us in the room.

What you'll do

  • Explore identity directions and take one to a full system: logo suite, type, color, voice and guidelines
  • Design websites and product UI in Figma, from structure to polished layouts ready for motion
  • Art direct brand applications: decks, social systems and campaign imagery

What you're great at

  • Typography and layout first, effects last
  • Clear written rationale, so a client understands why, not just what
  • Knowing when to stop

Tools

Figma, properly: components, variables, auto layout and systems a developer can build from. You use image generation (Midjourney, gpt-image, Higgsfield) for exploration and reference, and finish by hand. You're comfortable when parts of the Figma work are scripted.

Nice to have

A feel for motion. Figma plugins or scripts. 3D basics.

How we work

  • Paid per project, agreed in writing before work starts.
  • A clear brief, one point of contact, and honest, specific feedback.
  • Great work doesn't wait for Monday.
