Part-time Designer

Appear is AI visibility infrastructure for websites. The product is technical, the category is crowded, and the bar for how we show up visually is high.

We need a designer who can help us sharpen brand identity across marketing, sales materials, and product surfaces without turning everything into generic SaaS template land.

What you’d work on

• Brand identity: typography, color, layout rules, and visual language that feels distinct and credible
• Marketing site polish: landing pages, case studies, audit/proposal surfaces, and campaign assets
• Product UI support: dashboards, reports, and customer-facing flows that need calmer hierarchy and better data density
• Templates and systems: reusable patterns so the team can ship consistent work without redesigning from scratch every time

Must-haves

• Strong visual taste and editorial judgment. You can tell when something looks cheap, templated, or “too AI”
• Experience shaping brand systems for a startup or agency client, not just one-off mockups
• Comfort working async with founders and operators. You take a brief, make a call, and show work early
• Portfolio with real shipped work: websites, brand systems, decks, or product UI you can point to

Nice to have

• B2B SaaS or infrastructure branding experience
• Motion or scroll-based marketing page direction
• Figma fluency and handoff discipline for engineering

Engagement

Part-time contract to start, with room to grow if there is strong fit and ongoing work. Remote, flexible hours. Toronto, SF, or Barcelona time zones are a plus but not required.

How to apply

Submit the application with:

• A brand or visual system you’re proud of
• How you think about brand identity for a technical B2B company
• What you would focus on in your first 30 days at Appear

Include a portfolio or work samples link. Resume optional if your portfolio tells the story.
