Brand UI / Visual Designer (Startup Products)

Iris Design Collaborative

About the Role

We’re looking for a Brand UI / Visual Designer who thrives in fast-paced startup environments and loves creating strong visual brands from scratch.

Our team already handles UX strategy and product flows. This role is visual- and graphic-first, focused on branding, aesthetic direction, and high-impact UI design for early-stage web and mobile products.

You’ll often be working with minimal existing branding and helping define the look, feel, and visual voice of new startup products — with quick turnaround timelines.

What You’ll Do

  • Create brand identities and visual systems for early-stage startup apps
  • Produce 3 distinct UI / brand style directions per product for fast review and selection
  • Design high-fidelity UI screens (web or mobile) that reflect the chosen brand
  • Execute quick iterations and rapid turnarounds based on feedback
  • Focus on visual polish, clarity, and brand consistency
  • Collaborate with UX designers and developers who handle flows, logic, and functionality

Important: This Is Not a UX Role

This position does not focus on

  • UX research or user testing
  • Wireframing or UX flow design
  • Information architecture or usability strategy

Those areas are already covered by our team.

Requirements

  • Strong background in visual design, brand design, or graphic design
  • Experience creating brand identities for digital products
  • Ability to develop multiple visual directions quickly
  • Comfortable working with tight timelines and fast feedback cycles
  • Portfolio showing brand-driven, high-fidelity UI work
  • Proficiency in Figma (or similar tools)

Nice to Have

  • Startup or agency experience
  • SaaS, dashboard, or mobile app design experience
  • Illustration, iconography, or motion design skills

Your portfolio should include

  • Visually distinct brand directions
  • High-fidelity UI screens
  • Examples of startup or early-stage product branding

Portfolios focused mainly on UX flows or low-fidelity wireframes may not be a strong fit.
