Specialist Web Designer (Freelance/Contract)

Role Overview

We’re looking for an experienced Mid-Senior Specialist Web Designer to partner with N4 Studio on a freelance / contract basis, supporting web design projects as they come through the studio.

This is a project-based role, with hours varying depending on available client work and project requirements. You’ll work closely with our design and development teams to create high-quality, visually led websites and digital experiences for a range of ambitious brands.

We’re looking for someone who combines strong creative thinking and art direction with a solid understanding of UX/UI, responsive design and how websites are ultimately built in Webflow.

We partner with ambitious brands to craft digital experiences that drive growth. With a distributed team across multiple time zones, we move fast, think strategically, and bring A-team energy to everything we do.

Who You Are

• 4+ years of web design experience, ideally within a digital agency or studio environment.

• A strong portfolio of high-quality website and digital design work, demonstrating strong visual craft, art direction and attention to detail.

• Proven experience designing websites for Webflow, with a clear understanding of the platform and how designs translate into development.

• Strong proficiency in Figma, with experience across Adobe Creative Suite including Photoshop and Illustrator.

• Strong understanding of UX/UI, responsive design and modern web design principles.

• Experience collaborating closely with developers and other designers to bring digital experiences to life.

• Confident presenting your thinking, explaining design decisions and responding to client and internal feedback.

• Comfortable working independently across project-based work, changing deadlines and varying workloads.

• Strong communication and time management skills, particularly when working within a distributed team.

• Bonus: Experience with motion and interaction design, HTML/CSS or other low-code tools.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design high-quality, visually led websites and digital experiences aligned with client brands, objectives and audiences.

• Take projects from early concepts and wireframes through to polished, development-ready designs in Figma.

• Apply strong art direction, UX/UI and responsive design thinking across desktop and mobile experiences.

• Collaborate closely with Webflow developers to ensure designs are practical to build and implemented to a high standard.

• Present concepts and design thinking to clients, clearly articulate your rationale and refine work based on feedback.

• Consider motion, interaction and user experience as part of the overall design rather than treating pages as static layouts.

• Maintain a consistently high level of design craft across the projects you support.

• Work across projects based on client demand, timelines and available project work.
