Nice to Haves:

• Experience working with technology, SaaS, AI, or brand-focused companies.

Additional Information

• Freelance opportunity supporting ongoing web design projects.
• Weekly working hours and engagement duration will be discussed during the selection process.
• Work involves a mix of highly creative web experiences, campaign pages, and simpler website redesigns.
