Integrated Designer - Art Direction & Critique

Overview

For deeply opinionated designers who can articulate the difference between 'good' and 'great'. A critic role: strong fundamentals, and exceptional at structured feedback and direction. Specialties across brand, web, product/UI, office/presentation, 3D & generative media, illustration, and web-games. Mid-to-senior, professionally trained. You understand not just how to execute but why creative choices resonate. Write the way you'd speak to another senior designer.

What you'll do

• Critique and QA assets, articulating clearly what separates good from great.
• Compare and rank outputs to help models learn what 'great' looks like.
• When useful, design exemplar outputs or briefs from scratch.

Required skills

• 5+ years of professional design.
• Experience giving feedback in a professional setting (crit, awards jury, creative direction, management).
• Strong eye for fundamentals (type, color, spacing, grids).
• Fluent design vocabulary (leading, tracking, kerning, cap-height, hierarchy).
• How hiring works:
• 1. Apply (~10 min).
• 2. Complete a timed assessment (~45 min) built to gauge your judgment, quality bar, and craft.
