Design at SuperRare Labs:
We’re looking for an experienced Lead Brand Designer to join our design family. Our design team values trust, creativity, hustle, and low ego.

We have a slew of fun design initiatives on our roadmap. Given our position as leaders in the metaverse frontier, there are opportunities to invent entirely new design patterns. As a web3 platform controlled by its users, we’re setting the example for the kind of internet we want to see. Along the way, we’re lucky to work with an inspiring user base of the best artists in the world. We’re an all-remote company, but prefer that you have overlap with US work hours to facilitate better collaboration with our core team. The role will report to our Design Director.
What you’ll do:
- Work with Design Director to continue to evolve the look and feel of the brand of the SuperRare platform and DAO

- Work with marketing team to drive engagement through visual content
- Work with curation team to develop exhibitions (both virtual and IRL), along with campaigns (e.g. posters and teaser videos)
- Translate explainer video scripts into storyboards for motion designers to animate
- Develop graphic systems for our videos (titles, lower thirds, etc)
- Collaborate with product designers to ensure the platform’s UI is aligned with the brand aesthetic
- Design landing pages and mini sites for special projects
- Participate in design dialogue and contribute to our culture
- Ensure our brand is maintained across all channels and touchpoints
What you have:
- A portfolio

- Exquisite typographic skills
- Understanding of social platforms and how to drive engagement on these platforms

SuperRare powers / bonus points if you can demonstrate:

- Familiarity with basic html/css/js or Webflow
- Prior experience exploring the world of NFTs and the metaverse.
Who you are:
- A collaborator; we’re passionate about teams being more than the sum of their parts
- A truth-seeker; you have strong opinions but hold them loosely - maintaining a healthy skepticism and willingness to evolve when presented with new information
- A builder; you recognize that in many situations done is better than perfect
- A craftsperson; our work is our art, and the world needs more beauty in it
- An experimenter; you constantly iterate and publish sketches. Your portfolio and/or personal feed balances quality and quantity of visuals.
- A design entrepreneur; you can develop and pitch your own creative ideas.
