UI/UX & Visual Design Specialist – Digital Experiences & Creative Design

The role of an UI/UX & Visual Design Specialist – Digital Experiences & Creative Design at BruntWork

We are seeking a creative, strategic, and versatile UI/UX & Visual Design Specialist to work directly with senior leadership on projects spanning government, policy, and regulated environments. This role goes beyond visual execution, requiring strong design judgment, original thinking, and the ability to translate complex ideas into clear, engaging, and intuitive digital experiences.

You will contribute to web and UI/UX design, bespoke illustrations, visual systems, and occasional video and motion content. The ideal candidate is proficient in modern design tools, including Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and AI-powered creative platforms, and knows how to use technology to enhance creativity without compromising originality or thoughtful design.

Schedule

• Monday-Friday, Flexible within client’s business hours (4 hours per day, 20 hours per week)

Responsibilities

You will work directly with senior leadership on projects across government, policy, and regulated environments. The work requires clarity of thinking, not just visual polish.

This includes:

• UI/UX design for web and digital platforms
• Bespoke illustration and visual systems (not template-based)
• Translating complex ideas into simple, elegant visuals
• Supporting web design thinking (structure, flow, usability)
• Contributing to video and motion outputs (editing or assembling content)
• Using AI tools to enhance output, not replace thinking

Requirements

You should be comfortable across a modern design stack, including:

• Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
• Figma / Sketch
• Canva (used appropriately, not relied on)
• Procreate or similar illustration tools
• AI tools (e.g. Midjourney, Runway, Higgsfield or equivalent)

Bonus if you can:

• Edit or create video content (Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, etc.)
• Work across web design principles (UX flows, responsive layouts, dev awareness)

What We Are Looking For

• Creative thinking: You can explain why a design works
• Originality: You create, not assemble
• Judgment: You know when to simplify
• Clarity: You can take complex material and make it understandable
• Adaptability: You are comfortable working across formats (web, visual systems, light motion)
• Project Management: you plan your work and work your plan

Working Style & Expectations

• Ability to create original designs rather than relying exclusively on pre-made templates, while using templates appropriately when needed.
• Thoughtful and purposeful use of AI tools, ensuring outputs align with project goals and design objectives.
• Ability to work independently, take initiative, and make informed design decisions with minimal supervision.

Independent Contractor Perks

• Permanent Work from Home
• Immediate Hiring
• Trial period with clear potential to move into a long-term role
