Freelance Web Designer – AI Projects, $50/hr Figma in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
This role sits at the intersection of AI-augmented workflows and conversion-focused web design — a fast-growing niche as companies increasingly blend human expertise with AI tooling. Working with Tendem Agents gives you firsthand exposure to hybrid AI + human production pipelines, a skill increasingly valued by tech-forward design teams.
Compensation context: $50/hour is strong for a part-time freelance web design role. Market rates for mid-level freelance UI/web designers globally range from $35–75/hour, so this sits comfortably in the mid-to-upper tier — though with variable hours and no benefits, it's best treated as supplemental income.
Skills you'll build:
- Figma systems design and production-ready developer handoff — highly transferable and in-demand
- Conversion rate optimization (CRO) design principles for landing pages
- Cross-platform brand consistency — valuable for agency and in-house roles alike
- Experience working within AI-augmented workflows — a genuine differentiator on a 2025+ resume
Green flags: Clear scope, defined deliverables, and task-based structure signal a well-organized project. The AI + human hybrid model is innovative and portfolio-worthy.
Red flags to note: Hours are not guaranteed — "10–20 hours" is an estimate only while the project is active, meaning income could drop to zero between phases. This is not a stable full-time opportunity, and long-term continuity is uncertain. Best suited for designers already established with a client base.

About the Role
This is a freelance role for a Tendem project. As a Web Designer, your focus will be on marketing pages, landing experiences, and conversion-driven layouts. We need a core specialist dedicated to owning the look and feel of all web-based materials, ensuring they feel consistent, polished, and perfectly aligned with the broader brand ecosystem.
Key Responsibilities
- Design high-converting one-pagers, pitch-style landing pages, and simple marketing sites based on textual copy, outlines, or existing drafts.
- Translate brand assets and social media visuals into responsive web layouts, structured components, and sections that can be easily implemented by developers or no-code tools.
- Prepare and securely package production-ready files (organizing Figma frames, exporting assets, and detailing specs) for seamless handoff.
- Ensure absolute visual consistency between interactive web pages, static PDFs, and social materials.
- Enforce layout quality standards through systematic verification of responsiveness, proper spacing, clarity, and adherence to modern web trends prior to delivery.
Requirements
- At least 2 years of relevant experience in web design, UI design, digital marketing design, or visual communications is desirable.
- Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Web Design, Graphic Design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), or related creative/technical fields is a plus.
- Web & UI Design: Deep proficiency in Figma for creating scalable, responsive web layouts, auto-layout components, and comprehensive design systems.
- Conversion-Driven Layouts: Expertise in structuring high-converting, pitch-style landing pages with a strong eye for clarity, spacing, and modern design trends.
- Developer Handoff: Solid understanding of how to prepare, spec, and package digital assets for efficient implementation via developers or no-code platforms (e.g., Webflow, Framer).
- Cross-Platform Consistency: Ability to seamlessly translate core brand aesthetics across varying touchpoints, ensuring web pages match existing social materials and pitch decks.
- English proficiency: Upper-intermediate (B2) or above (required).
- A structured, user-centric, and conversion-minded approach to design.
- Strong eye for clarity, white space, and modern web layout trends.
