Brand Designer
About Zolplay
We’re an integrated design studio for founders with high standards. We align Brand, Product, and Growth—embedding with teams to ship work that feels true and moves the metric that matters.
Why this role exists
Client demand is up. You’ll turn founder intent into identity, narrative, and assets that scale—from mark and type to motion and campaigns. Systems-minded, craft-obsessed, and comfortable moving from concept to production.
How design works here
Async-first. Weekly cadence. Tight feedback. We work in Figma/FigJam, Slack, and Linear—shipping to Framer/Webflow/Next.js when needed. We sweat the details, document decisions, and measure outcomes.
What you’ll own
- Identity systems: logo, typography, color, grids, and usage rules that scale.
- Brand toolkits: componentized templates for social, editorial, email, decks, and print.
- Motion and interaction language; lightweight guidelines that travel into product.
- Campaigns and moments: launches, announcements, events, and merch.
- Quality control: keep every touchpoint coherent while pushing the voice forward.
Who you’ll work with
Founder (Cali, CEO), product designers, and client teams—aligning Brand ↔ Product ↔ Growth from first impression to in-product moments.
