You'll design web apps and mobile experiences for clients across industries, the kind of software people use every day, where the difference between okay and great is felt by real users. You'll typically work alongside a Product Lead, who owns strategy and overall direction. Your job is to figure out how each feature actually comes to life, shaping the experience and the details with input from the Product Lead, Lead Developer, the client, and the people who'll ultimately use what we build. You'll be an active participant in discovery and research, then own design concepts, prototypes, user testing, and handoff to the tech team. You'll sit with users, push back on assumptions, and partner directly with clients instead of working through layers. And you'll do it with AI as a real part of your process, not a side experiment. We want someone who's already leaning into that shift and excited to help the rest of the team lean in too. This role is mostly remote, with regular in-person time for team events and client meetings. You should be located in the Greater Louisville metro area. We're flexible on experience level for the right person, but your portfolio should show how you think, not just what you can render.

Create clean, intuitive, and innovative user interfaces
Talk to real users to understand what they actually need, including the things they don't say out loud
Develop concepts, wireframes, and prototypes hands-on

Use AI throughout your workflow to move faster on research, ideation, and iteration
