Lead UI/UX Designer

Ekahal is a think studio focused on technology, marketing, and design, working across diverse clients including nonprofits, SaaS platforms, e-commerce brands, and legal services. The Lead UI/UX Designer will own the design function across multiple live projects, shaping user experiences from early discovery through to final implementation. The role requires translating client needs into clear design direction, leading UI/UX execution, and ensuring consistency across digital products. You will be responsible for end-to-end product design including wireframes, user flows, high-fidelity prototypes, and design systems. The role also involves collaborating directly with clients, developers, and internal teams to ensure design intent is accurately translated into production. You will act as the design lead, maintaining quality standards, organizing design workflows, and ensuring all deliverables are structured, scalable, and production-ready.

Candidates should have 3–5 years of professional UI/UX design experience with a strong portfolio covering web, mobile, and digital product work. Strong expertise in Figma is required, including components, auto-layout, variants, and prototyping. A solid understanding of user research, information architecture, interaction design, and visual hierarchy is essential. Applicants should demonstrate strong brand design skills and the ability to apply and adapt visual identity systems consistently across platforms. Strong communication skills are required, along with the ability to present and defend design decisions to both clients and internal teams. Experience working with developers and understanding technical feasibility is important. Familiarity with mobile design guidelines (iOS and Android), motion design tools like Framer or Lottie, and basic knowledge of HTML/CSS are considered strong advantages. Experience in agency environments managing multiple projects simultaneously is also beneficial.
