Product Designer (UX/UI)
Senior-minded Product Designer (UX/UI)
Grona Agency · Remote · Full-time contract
___________________________
About us
Grona is a small product design studio working with early-stage founders in the US and Europe. Over the past three years we have designed 100+ mobile and web products across healthcare, wellness, productivity and social. We are a team of three designers, no account managers, no layers. Recent work includes a safety app for senior care, a marketplace for physician shifts, and a privacy-first social app.
About the role
You will own projects, not tasks. From the first client call through flows, wireframes, UI and handoff.
Our design lead, reviews your work and has your back when you get stuck. Ivan, the founder, stays on strategy and final quality. But the project is yours, and the client talks to you.
Briefs arrive incomplete. Timelines are short. Founders push back. We expect you to make the call and flag problems early rather than wait to be told.
What we need
- 3+ years in product design, ideally in an agency or studio
- Mobile-first: iOS and Android as your primary craft, web adaptations when needed
- Full cycle in practice: flows, wireframes, UI, design system, prototype, handoff, design QA
- Comfortable running a client call and presenting your own decisions
- Strong visual fundamentals: typography, composition, hierarchy. We do not ship generic
- Enough technical literacy to know what is realistic and argue for it with developers
- Spoken English good enough for client calls. Written fluency is not enough
- AI tools as part of your actual workflow, not as an experiment
Nice to have
- AI tools as part of your actual workflow, not as an experiment
- Framer or Webflow
What we offer
- up to $1600 per month from the start
- A steady stream of qualified projects. You never look for clients
- Ownership of your projects and direct client contact
- Your name on the work, cases in your portfolio
- Remote, flexible hours, overlap with CET expected
How we hire
- 20-minute intro call
- Walkthrough of one project you led, end to end
- Short paid test on a real project (8 to 16 hours, paid at your rate)
- Offer
To apply
Send your portfolio and answer one question in three or four sentences: describe a specific problem in your design process where AI actually saved you, what tool you used, and paste the prompt that did the work.
We are not looking for "I use ChatGPT for copy". We want the real one, with your wording.
