What you’ll do
•
Own the Applied Labs web and brand surfaces from concept to production, including marketing site, landing pages, launch pages, and lightweight interactive storytelling
•
Design and build directly in code, translating high-fidelity design into production-quality UI with excellent typography, layout, motion, accessibility, and performance
•
Create reusable components and templates that raise consistency and speed across the website and brand experiences
•
Build and maintain a high-quality pipeline for on-brand design assets, including images, short-form video, motion graphics, and illustrations
•
Use modern AI tools to accelerate output and iteration, including coding agents and generative image and video models, while maintaining a strong human taste and QA bar
•
Partner closely with founders in NYC to set the quality bar for how Applied Labs looks, feels, and communicates, and to execute quickly on new narratives, experiments, and launches
•
Establish the standard for future hires through your documentation, component patterns, asset specs, and creative workflow
