* Hand off clean, build-ready files to our development team and support them through the build.
* Take on logo, brand identity and print projects when they come up if you’re capable in these design disciplines.

* 7+ years designing websites, with at least 3 at a senior or lead level.
* A portfolio of launched websites where you owned both the UX and the UI. Show us the wireframes, not only the final screens.

* Working knowledge of how websites are built, including responsive behaviour, accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) and CMS constraints.
* Clear, confident communication with clients in English.
* Availability for calls during Eastern Time business hours.
* An established freelance practice. This is a contract role, not a path to employment.## Strong candidates also have
