ABOUT APPLY

LOCATION: APPLY is hybrid/remote friendly. The preferred candidate should be based in Canada, working in hours that align to ET (Eastern Timezone).
THE ROLE:
APPLY is looking for a UI Designer with a strong graphic design foundation and deep fluency in AI-powered creative tools. This is a visual craft-first role, distinct from our Product Design track: it's built for someone who thinks like a graphic designer, communicates like a brand strategist, and moves fluidly between brand exploration and interface work.
You'll help shape brand identities from the ground up - stylescapes, brand books, live workshops - while also flexing into UI and product design work using both traditional and agentic tools. You're as comfortable in Figma as you are prompting Midjourney, Figma Weave, or Veo, and you bring an agency consultant's instincts to every engagement: fast, collaborative, and client-ready.
