About the Role
We're looking for a Product Designer to join us on a contract basis. This is a role for someone who can bridge design and product thinking — bringing structure to ambiguous briefs, designing thoughtful flows, and delivering interfaces that are both beautiful and buildable.
You'll work across web and digital product projects, collaborating directly with developers and clients to shape how things look, feel, and function. The work is varied: some projects are brand new builds, others are improving what already exists.
The ideal person brings strong UX instincts alongside visual craft — someone who asks good questions before opening Figma, and delivers files that don't need translation when they reach a developer.

About Loopdash
Loopdash is a small, independent digital design studio building websites and brand identities for mission-driven clients. We're a tight team that cares about craft, clean execution, and doing good work without layers of process getting in the way.
What You'll Do
- •Lead product design work across web and digital projects — from discovery and wireframing through to polished, build-ready Figma files.
- •Define user flows, information architecture, and interaction patterns that make complex things feel simple.
- •Design and maintain component libraries and design systems that scale across projects and hand off cleanly to developers.
- •Collaborate directly with clients and developers — presenting work, absorbing feedback, and iterating without losing the thread.
- •Manage your own time and deliverables across concurrent projects, flagging blockers early and keeping things moving.
- •Contribute to broader creative decisions — you'll have a real voice in how work comes together.
What We're Looking For
- •3–6+ years of product or UX/UI design experience, with a portfolio that shows range across digital products and web.
- •Strong Figma skills — prototyping, component libraries, auto-layout, and files that developers can actually use.
- •Ability to work at multiple altitudes: you can zoom out to map a full user journey and zoom in to spec a microinteraction.
- •Comfort with ambiguity — you can take a rough brief, ask the right questions, and turn it into a clear design direction.
- •Self-directed and accountable. You own your slice of a project and deliver without needing to be managed closely.
- •Clear communicator, especially in async environments — you write well and explain your decisions without over-justifying them.
- •Design with development constraints in mind — you understand how components get built and account for responsive behavior and CMS templates.
Nice to have: experience in the nonprofit or advocacy space, motion design chops, or familiarity with WordPress and common page builders.
How to Apply
Send us your portfolio, a couple of links, and a short note about yourself. No formal cover letter required — we'd rather see how you think and what you've made. We review every submission and will reach out if there's a fit.
Loopdash is committed to a fair and inclusive hiring process and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds.
What We Offer
Flexible Working Hours
Work the hours that suit you, from wherever you do your best work. We care about the output, not the time you clocked it.
Real Project Ownership
You run your own work end to end, with a direct line to the client. No account layer, no project management layer.
Varied, High-Impact Work
Small team means no narrow lane. You'll move across projects and clients that actually matter instead of owning one slice of one account.
Independent by Design
This is flexible, contract-based work, not a desk and a badge. You keep your autonomy and we keep the overhead off your plate.
Fair, Transparent Rates
We pay competitively and we're upfront about it. No salary-band guessing games, no negotiating in the dark.
Lean, Minimal Bureaucracy
A small studio means fewer meetings, less process, and faster decisions. Your time goes into the work, not into managing the machine.
