About the Role
We're an early-stage ambient AI startup building a continuous intelligence system that seamlessly integrates into daily life — helping people offload routine tasks and reclaim their focus for what matters most. We're looking for a Design Director to shape how our company is seen and experienced across every touchpoint.

Translate brand strategy into visuals, campaigns, narratives, and customer experiences that resonate deeply.
Create high-quality visual assets including launch materials, presentations, campaign creative, social content, web pages, and brand collateral.
Build design concepts that make complex technology feel clear, accessible, and culturally relevant.
Shape visual storytelling for key company moments and establish scalable design principles that ensure consistent branding.
Partner closely with Marketing, Product, and Leadership to align design execution with broader business goals.
Bring strong taste and strategic judgment to influence how the company is perceived in market.
