Senior Product Designer Consultant (Lovable Audit, Brand, UX & UI Review)

# Senior Product Designer Consultant (Lovable Audit, Brand, UX & UI Review) We are looking for an experienced Product Designer to work with us on an hourly consultancy basis to review, challenge and improve an existing product that has already been built as a working prototype. This is not a fixed-scope design project and we are not looking for someone to simply create screens from a brief. We are looking for a strategic design partner who can audit our current Lovable implementation, identify opportunities for improvement and help shape the overall product experience, brand direction and user journeys as the platform evolves. The successful candidate should be comfortable reviewing existing work, challenging assumptions, identifying friction points and providing practical recommendations that can be implemented within our current technology stack. ## Current Focus Areas ### Lovable Product Audit The platform already exists as a working prototype built using Lovable, React, Tailwind and Supabase. We are looking for an experienced designer who can review the current implementation and provide feedback on: * Overall product experience * Information architecture * Navigation structure * User journeys * Mobile usability * Desktop usability * Conversion opportunities * Feature discoverability * Content hierarchy * Design consistency * Accessibility considerations * Design system foundations We are particularly interested in identifying areas where the current experience can be simplified, clarified or improved. ### Brand Review & Direction We are looking for support in reviewing and refining: * Brand positioning * Brand personality * Visual identity * Logo direction * Colour palette * Typography * Design principles * Visual consistency across the platform Rather than creating multiple disconnected concepts, we are looking for guidance on establishing a clear and cohesive brand direction that aligns with the product experience and target audience. ### UX & User Journey Review We are looking for support with reviewing and improving: * Guest user journeys * Member user journeys * Onboarding flows * Navigation patterns * Search and discovery experiences * Conversion paths * User engagement opportunities * Product usability The ideal candidate should be comfortable identifying friction points, questioning existing assumptions and recommending improvements based on user goals and business objectives. ### Wireframes, Concepts & UI Direction We do not necessarily require fully polished high-fidelity designs at this stage. Instead, we are primarily looking for: * UX audits * Wireframes * User flow recommendations * Layout improvements * Design direction * Design system recommendations * Component and pattern reviews The objective is to establish clear design principles, structures and recommendations that can be implemented and iterated within Lovable and our existing development workflow. Icons should be sourced from established icon libraries rather than designed from scratch. ## Platform Context The platform will be available across: * Mobile-first web * Desktop web * Native mobile applications Mobile is the primary design consideration, however recommendations should consider how experiences scale effectively across all platforms. The platform already exists as a working prototype built using Lovable, React, Tailwind and Supabase. We are looking for practical, implementation-focused feedback rather than purely theoretical design exercises. ## Ideal Candidate * Senior Product Designer * Strong UX and information architecture experience * Experience auditing and improving existing products * Mobile-first design expertise * Experience designing across web and native apps * Branding and visual identity experience * SaaS, marketplace or consumer platform experience * Comfortable working directly with founders and product teams * Able to provide strategic recommendations as well as practical solutions We are particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate how they have: * Audited and improved existing products * Simplified complex user journeys * Increased usability and engagement * Improved conversion paths * Established clear product direction * Developed scalable design systems and frameworks * Balanced brand and product design considerations Please share examples of relevant work, explain your role in shaping the product experience and describe how you typically approach reviewing and improving an existing product.
