• Immersive Theme Crafting: Design cohesive, beautiful light and dark modes that evoke a premium, intentional aesthetic.

• Interactive Polish: Prototype subtle, engaging CSS transitions, hover states, and micro-interactions that make template-driven components feel premium and alive.

• Matrixed Stakeholder Management: Confidently present high-fidelity visual concepts to cross-functional partners to gain quick alignment .

• Thriving under Pressure: Drive design execution smoothly to meet tight, immovable event launch deadlines without compromising visual quality or core UX.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in UX/UI Design, Graphic Design, Interaction Design, or equivalent practical experience .

• 5+ years of experience designing high-traffic, premium external marketing websites, launch pages, or digital event experiences.

• A high craft portfolio showcasing exceptional visual design, editorial typography, and high-fidelity web layouts.

Preferred Qualifications

• Event Platform Experience: Proven experience designing registration flows or event websites using template-driven component engines.

• Collaborative Figma Expert: Advanced proficiency in Figma, with a track record of "pair designing" alongside agency partners or cross-org brand teams.

• Comfort with Ambiguity: Ability to run fast, adapt to shifting event priorities, and iterate rapidly under pressure.
