A California-based confectionery startup is seeking an experienced confectionery product developer or food scientist to formulate a small-batch prototype for an innovative, high-concept premium candy project. ***IMPORTANT TIMELINE & HIRE NOTE:*** We are launching this job post today to review portfolios and run interviews over the next 14 days. The ideal candidate will be selected, the contract will be officially activated, and the secure Upwork escrow will be funded in exactly two weeks (around June 28). Please only apply if you are comfortable with this 2-week vetting window before physical work begins. Project Scope: • The Base (Client Provided): We have already sourced and purchased the professional, unflavored, un-crushed hard popping candy base (2mm–4mm pips). This will be shipped directly to your lab/workspace the moment you are officially hired. • The Challenge: We need to coat this popping candy with an external chili-lime powder and an FDA-approved metallic luster dust. • The Science: Because carbonated sugar is highly hygroscopic (moisture-seeking), you must formulate an invisible, anhydrous moisture barrier (such as a lipid-based film or specialized confectionery glaze) to wrap the core before applying the spice layer. This must prevent the candy from degassing, clumping, or losing its "pop." • Aesthetics: The final product must have a heavy, premium bite (thick, irregular "geode" style rocks) and a highly eye-catching, high-contrast metallic and chili-speckled exterior. • Flavor Profile: Infusing the system with a mouth-watering tropical fruit flavor/acid profile. Deliverables: 1. A finalized, scalable ingredient formulation sheet with step-by-step processing instructions that can be handed directly to a mid-tier commercial co-packer later. 2. 10 to 15 physical, finished sample pouches shipped to our headquarters in California for marketing and investor pitches. Budget: $800 (Fixed Price) Project Length: 2-3 weeks once the contract is activated in 14 days.

BASEMENT LAYOUT VALIDATION, SPACE PLANNING & 3D RENDERING IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ ENTIRE POSTING This project is NOT a rendering-only project and is NOT an interior decorating project. I am looking for someone with experience in BOTH: • Residential basement design, layout planning, and space planning • Creating 3D renderings of those designs Experience with basement entertainment spaces is mandatory (that experience must include some of each: basement home bars, home theaters, pool table rooms, home gyms). I already have a fairly developed concept for the basement, including room assignments, furniture ideas, bar concepts, TV room concepts, gym concepts, and overall functionality. I am NOT looking for someone to redesign the basement from scratch. I am looking for someone who can help evaluate and refine my ideas, determine what works, identify what doesn't, suggest practical alternatives where appropriate, and create renderings that help visualize and compare options before construction. PROJECT OVERVIEW The basement includes a TV Room, Pool Table Room, Bar Room, Home Gym, Bedroom, Bathroom, and Wine Room. The TV Room, Pool Table Room, and Bar Room will be opened up to create a larger entertainment space. I already have a fairly developed concept for the basement and am looking for someone to help validate and refine it—not redesign it from scratch. I need help evaluating whether the current ideas work well from a functionality, spacing, flow, and usability standpoint, including furniture placement, room flow, sightlines, pool table clearances, TV viewing distances, bar and gym layouts, lighting, speaker placement, structural openings, beam treatments, ceiling transitions, closet usage, and overall room functionality. A room may technically fit according to dimensions but still feel too crowded, too empty, or not function as intended once fully furnished. This is why renderings are important. I am looking for someone who uses renderings as a decision-making tool, not simply a final presentation tool. DELIVERABLES Deliverables should include: • Space planning and layout recommendations • Furniture placement recommendations • Room flow and functionality recommendations • Structural opening, beam, and ceiling transition recommendations • Lighting and speaker placement recommendations • Bar and home gym layout recommendations • Floor plans showing proposed solutions • 3D renderings showing proposed solutions • Alternative concepts where appropriate REQUIRED EXPERIENCE Candidate MUST have experience with basement designs: helping clients evaluate and refine layouts, furniture placement, room flow, clearances, space planning, and overall functionality, and MUST ALSO be capable of creating 3D renderings that help visualize and compare those options. TO APPLY Please provide SPECIFIC examples of basement projects where you helped the client evaluate or refine the layout, room functionality, furniture placement, or overall design and also created the resulting renderings. Please include actual project images directly within your proposal. Examples showing floor plans, layout studies, alternative concepts, and resulting renderings are strongly preferred. Responses that do not include the requested examples and images, or that do not demonstrate relevant experience in both basement design and rendering, will be excluded from consideration without further review.

I need a designer who does exceptional work. This is a labor benchmarking dashboard for a client in the senior living space, and the design has to be crisp, clean, and impressive. The kind of report someone opens and immediately trusts. Design is the most critical piece of this project. The hard part is that it has to serve two very different audiences at once. Senior executives who need it sharp, polished, and analytically credible, and operators on the ground who need it simple enough to use with zero translation. Nailing both is the job. The scope is a defined mock-up that then gets built in Power BI, so your designs need to be field-ready and clean to implement, not just pretty in Figma. This runs on a tight 2-4 week window once we start, so I need someone who can move fast without dropping quality. What I need from you: Lead the visual design in Figma. Layout, hierarchy, KPIs, filtering, drill-downs, conditional formatting, and how someone reads and acts on the data at a glance A portfolio of polished, front-end reports or dashboards that speaks for itself, ideally dense and metric-heavy ones Sharp eye for craft. Spacing, type, color, the details most people skip Comfortable presenting directly to clients while clearly representing my company. In these meetings you act on our behalf, as part of my team, not as a freelancer working for the client Able to turn work around quickly once we kick off Strong communicator both internally as we iterate on this, and externally to prepare updates for client meetings. An understanding of your experience designing top-end dashboard mock-ups. What is your approach? Logistics: Starting in August Around 10-15 hours across a 2-3 week window 2-3 rounds of client feedback To apply, send 2-3 of your strongest dashboard or report designs, your rate, and your time zone. Lead with the work.
