Senior Designer

We’re looking for a Senior Web Designer who knows what it takes to design and ship beautiful, conversion-minded custom Shopify storefronts for DTC brands. You’ve done this before – at an agency, in-house, or both – and you bring the taste, judgment, and craft to show for it. You’ll own projects end to end: from discovery and strategy, design and prototyping (no themes here!), through development to final handoff. That means working closely with clients and producing work that's as functional as it is memorable.

Responsibilities

• Design beautiful, performant custom Shopify experiences that hold onto brand storytelling without sacrificing usability or conversion
• Conduct site audits and make sharp recommendations grounded in UX best practices
• Own the full design process: requirements gathering, concepting, iteration, copywriting, asset merchandising, and a clean handoff to dev
• Work with what you’re given: assess client-provided assets, flag gaps, and make smart decisions about how to use (or supplement) what's available
• Present your work asynchronously using Loom with confidence – explaining the thinking, not just showing the work
• Think in systems – PDPs, collections, headers, cart, mobile – and find the harmony between beauty, function, and scale
• Pressure-test your own designs for edge cases so there are fewer surprises once 
builds begin
• Collaborate with our co-founders on project scoping and requirements as needed

What you bring

• 5+ years of design experience at a DTC brand or ecommerce-focused agency
• Deep fluency in UI/UX principles and Figma (our primary tool)
• Strong prototyping and interaction design chops
• The ability to translate a vague brief into a clear, well-reasoned design direction without needing someone to hold your hand through it
• An eye for what makes a site memorable and trustworthy
• Comfort with the pace and ambiguity of agency work – you know how to move fast without cutting corners on craft. We move from kickoff to first prototype in 10 days; you should be comfortable with that rhythm
• An excellent communicator who knows how to translate a brand into conversion-focused copy that helps with storytelling and trust
• Strong written communication – since there are no client calls, your ability to ask the right questions, flag risks, and explain decisions in writing matters as much as your design skills

Bonus

• You’ve worked on Shopify specifically and understand its constraints and opportunities
• You care about the business outcomes of your design decisions, not just how things look
• You have genuine brand sensibility – you engage with a brand's point of view and know how to push it forward, not just execute against it
• You have an entrepreneurial nature. We're looking for designers who are scrappy, value custom-created work, and can handle projects autonomously

Working at Otherhalf

• You’ll be joining a senior team with roots at Shopify, Sharma Brands, Pointer, ehouse
and Domaine
• Remote (work from anywhere, anytime)
• No client calls – fully async projects
• You’ll work directly with brands and have real ownership over the work
• We value work-life harmony and offer generous time off, including 4 weeks of paid-time-off and an additional 2 weeks during the holiday season
• Competitive compensation based on experience
