About the Agency

We are a small, fully remote agency based in the Midlands, operating successfully for 25 years. Despite our size, we consistently deliver high-level work, often exceeding larger teams.

• Translate client briefs into clean, organized Figma layouts.
• Develop UI components, simple design systems, and comprehensive page flows.

• Manage small interactions, animations, and ensure flawless responsive behavior across devices.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong Figma skills for design and prototyping.
• Excellent understanding of UX principles and clean interface layout.
