UI/UX & Graphic Designer (Mobile App + Social Content, Fast-Paced)

We're looking for a versatile, fast-moving designer to join our team full-time on a renewable monthly contract. This role blends product design and brand/marketing design for a children's app. You'll be designing mobile app screens and producing high-volume social media content, often with minimal direction and tight same-day turnarounds. We already have an established visual direction and brand style for both the app and our social content. This is a high-output role. We're not looking for a UX designer who needs user research, discovery, or detailed stories to get started. If you need a research phase before you can produce a screen, this isn't the right fit. The client expects things to move fast and expect output daily. A quick heads-up before you apply: our client is very hands-on, particular, and can change direction quickly with little warning. That's exactly why we're bringing on extra support. Someone who can stay calm, flexible, and responsive no matter what gets thrown their way. What you'll be doing: - Designing mobile app screens from minimal or ambiguous direction . A lot of times it's just a feature concept, and independently exploring and producing polished screens from that - Creating a high volume of social media posts daily (minimum ~10/day), with your own concepts and copy, no briefs are provided. - Producing original graphics and images using AI that stay visually consistent with our existing app and social branding - Picking up tasks assigned throughout the day with no advance notice, and delivering same-day based on client need - Being responsive on Slack throughout the day. This is not a "check in once and deliver at end of day" role. We need someone actively available to receive and respond to requests in real time - Working within a children's app context, so content is colorful, illustrative, and visually rich What we're looking for: - Strong portfolio showing both UI/UX (mobile-first) and graphic/social design work - Someone who thrives on ambiguity, speed, and volume. Not process, documentation, or research - Excellent visual taste and the ability to stay on-brand without needing style guides spelled out for every asset - Copywriting instincts. You can write your own captions/concepts - Up to date with Figma, including its newer features - Strong Adobe Photoshop skills - Animation skills are a huge advantage AI tools are part of your regular workflow, but used to support your process, not replace your skill or judgment Preference for designers working in GMT+2 timezone, to maximize overlap with our working hours Please do NOT apply if: - You need detailed briefs, user stories, or research before you can produce work - You're planning to run everything through AI generation with minimal personal input. We need real design skill, judgment, and taste behind the work. It CANNOT look AI-generated social media post slop. - You're not available for real-time Slack communication and same-day turnarounds during working hours To apply, please include: - Your portfolio (mobile app UI/UX + social/graphic design examples, ideally showing volume and speed) - A short note on how you handle a day with shifting priorities and last-minute requests - Your availability for full-time work and real-time communication, along with your time zone (include the word Belgium if you've read the full requirement) - Your typical turnaround time for a single social media graphic, start to finish Commitment: Full-time, renewable on a monthly basis based on performance and fit.
